Initial analysis

The property at 1480-1484 Church Street in Noe Valley is a 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing 3 units and currently owned by the Donnelly Dan & Teresa Trust. The building has experienced some infrastructure updates over its history, including reroofing in 1992, various plumbing installations in 1999, and a sign installation in 2004, though all these permits have since expired. A notable incident occurred in August 2004 when there was a complaint about excessive signage and lighting, specifically regarding three blade signs and four neon signs that were reportedly left on continuously at night, though this issue was abated by October 2004.

More recent developments at the property include an ice cream shop installation project that received approval within the NC-1 Zoning District, though there is currently a submitted variance request concerning converting commercial space to residential outdoor space. The surrounding area has experienced several infrastructure and maintenance issues in recent years, including two open pavement defect complaints from February 2024, a resolved flooding incident in February 2024, and various street cleaning and maintenance matters throughout 2023-2024. While these external issues don't directly impact the building's condition, they provide context about the neighborhood's infrastructure needs. The property has also seen some regulatory scrutiny, with a previous incident regarding oversized business signs that was eventually abated, and an illegal posting case from 2022 that was resolved.

Risk rating

How 1480-1484 Church 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
59th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 770 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits (past 7 years)

Number of permits pulled at this address — construction or renovation activity over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.2%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 5.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
