Initial analysis

The property at 3997 Cesar Chavez St in Noe Valley is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Allan Sluizer and Roberta Agre. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial renovation taking place in 2009-2010 when the second floor received a comprehensive kitchen remodel including wall removal, appliance updates, and associated electrical and plumbing work. Other notable maintenance has included structural improvements such as garage floor reconstruction (2011), handrail and siding replacement (2012), and seismic reinforcement work including anchor bolts and plywood sheathing (1990). The building was reroofed in 1998, though that permit has since expired.

Recent activity at the property has been primarily focused on exterior maintenance and addressing resident concerns, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding various issues including construction equipment blocking the sidewalk (resolved), tree maintenance (resolved), parking violations, and waste management. Of particular note is a series of street space and sidewalk permits in 2010 and 2019, suggesting ongoing attention to the building's public-facing infrastructure. The most recent building permit activity was in 2019 for street space work, indicating that while the property has received regular maintenance and upgrades over the years, the most significant internal improvements were completed between 2009-2012. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external matters such as blocking issues, street maintenance, and neighborhood concerns, rather than problems with the building structure or systems.

Risk rating

How 3997 Cesar Chavez 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
88th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 225 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

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.

No violation 86.6%
Moderate concern 9.5%
Severe concern 3.9%
