AI summary

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1545-1547 Church Street in Noe Valley, owned by Chuang Hsiu-te & Mathis Dar, has a documented history dating back to 1998 and consists of three units plus a store space. The most recent significant activity involves a 2023 permit filing for accessibility modifications under the ABE Program, seeking technical infeasibility approval regarding the building's entrance, steps, and adjacent sidewalk conditions, with no proposed work on the sidewalk itself. The building underwent several important improvements in the early 1990s, including reroofing, replacement of wooden windows with aluminum frames, and renovation of two and a half bathrooms. More recent infrastructure work includes a complete plumbing repair in 2014 involving installation of a new house trap and sewer pipe.

The property has experienced recurring issues with double parking in the vicinity, particularly during a concentrated period from September to October 2022, with multiple reports logged to aid city enforcement efforts. Most recently, there have been two reports of non-offensive graffiti in 2024 that remain open. Historical records show the building has been generally maintained, with completed permits for various improvements and repairs over the years, including the addition of a window in 1998 and multiple street space permits.

Risk rating

How 1545-1547 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

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1428 are predicted to be safer.
