Initial analysis

The six-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2 28th St in Noe Valley, owned by Joseph & Sandra Siino Revoc, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1959. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $76,000, demonstrating compliance with current seismic safety requirements. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple complaints between 2001 and 2013 regarding plumbing problems, including sewer line blockages, water leaks, and flood incidents affecting various units. A notable incident occurred in 2009 when fire damage required repairs to corner posts and re-stuccoing work. The building has undergone several roofing projects, with records showing work completed in 1992, 2009, and the most recent soft-story retrofit work.

The building's maintenance history includes addressing various interior and exterior issues through multiple permits, such as re-stuccoing work in 1992 and various repairs following water damage incidents. The property has faced multiple building violations, all of which have been resolved, including issues related to window glazing, floor coverings, exposed wiring, and water damage. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as sidewalk maintenance, graffiti on mailboxes, and encampment concerns in the neighborhood, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The building's fire safety record shows a single recorded incident classified as a "building fire" with no civilian injuries, and all documented complaints have been officially closed, suggesting that historical maintenance issues have been addressed, though the frequency of water-related problems in the 2010-2013 period is notable.

Risk rating

How 2 28Th 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
31th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1297 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 48.5%
Moderate concern 19.1%
Severe concern 32.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
