Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1440 Noe Street in Noe Valley, owned by Wladyslaw J & Juanita D Lej, contains 5 units and was constructed in 1971. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the past decade, including side stair repairs in 2016 ($1,500), and a window and door replacement project in 2014 that converted 11 windows and 4 doors from aluminum to vinyl for $7,000. Historical records show a routine housing inspection in 1999 that was promptly resolved within two weeks.

The most pressing concerns for the property in recent months relate to exterior conditions and infrastructure. There have been numerous 311 calls regarding garbage and debris in the vicinity between November 2024 and January 2025, though most of these cases were either resolved or determined to require no further work. Two significant open issues remain as of October 2024: a lifted sidewalk caused by tree roots, and a sewer-related matter. While there have been two fire department responses to the building in recent years - one for a carbon monoxide detector activation (which turned out to have no CO present) and another good intent call - neither incident resulted in civilian injuries or indicated any significant safety concerns. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with particular attention paid to exterior elements like stairs, windows, and doors, suggesting ongoing property management oversight.

Risk rating

How 1440 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

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1165 are predicted to be safer.
