Initial analysis

The two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 1574-1576 Church Street in Noe Valley, owned by Christopher Do, has undergone significant improvements since 2019, including comprehensive electrical system upgrades, kitchen and bathroom renovations in three units, and driveway replacement. The building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015, achieving Tier 3 compliance and receiving a Certificate of Final Completion. Between 2017 and 2019, essential infrastructure improvements were made, including new electrical panels to replace rust-damaged units, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and plumbing work across multiple units. Several complaints were filed in 2018-2019 regarding unpermitted work and construction noise during weekends, though these cases are no longer active. The building had multiple violations in 2011 related to fire safety, water damage, and structural concerns, all of which were addressed and abated between 2011-2012.

More recent activities include several 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including roof work in 2011 and various repairs and upgrades through the years. Multiple tenant buyouts were recorded in 2018, with amounts ranging from approximately $55,000 to $78,000, indicating significant tenant turnover during that period. The building's current status shows no active building violations, with all past issues having been resolved and proper inspections completed. However, there were recurring issues with driveway blocking and graffiti in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024.

Risk rating

How 1574-1576 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.
