Initial analysis

The property at 1301 Noe Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1963 and owned by Pewther Pauline M 1997 Livi. The building experienced several notable events over its history, with the most significant cluster of issues occurring in May 2009 during a routine housing inspection. This inspection revealed multiple safety concerns, including the need for gas meter instructional diagrams to be posted in public areas, the provision of gas shutoff tools, and the presence of damaged paint that required remediation to prevent potential lead hazards. All these violations were officially abated by June 23, 2009. The building underwent two previous routine inspections in 1999 and 2001, though no significant violations were recorded from these inspections.

More recent history shows the building has had no major violations or complaints directly related to its condition or safety systems. There have been some recent 311 calls in the vicinity of the building (2024) mostly related to street cleaning, parking enforcement, and Muni service issues, but none of these directly pertain to the building's condition or resident safety. The building's fire safety system has undergone three smoke detector activations, though none involved actual fires or civilian injuries. All incidents were either unintentional, due to malfunction, or classified as false alarms. The property's most recent recorded violations are from 2009, and there have been no active housing code violations on record for over 14 years, suggesting ongoing compliance with housing regulations since the lead hazard remediation and other safety improvements were completed.

Risk rating

How 1301 Noe St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
