Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 250 28th Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1961 and currently owned by the Jacqueline F Nye Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 (Tier 3) costing $100,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent building improvements include a comprehensive window and door replacement project in 2019 valued at $46,000, which involved installing fiberglass windows on the front facade and vinyl windows on the rear, along with matching wood siding on the front. A fire safety upgrade in 2010 improved the building's emergency systems with the installation of a new fire alarm control panel, smoke detectors, heat detectors, and related equipment.

The building's historical records show some fire safety and maintenance issues in 2008, when violations were noted regarding the fire escape drop ladder and central alarm system, though these were promptly addressed within approximately one month. While there have been multiple fire alarm activations recorded between 2011 and 2013, these were either false alarms or accidental activations with no injuries reported. The property has no active building violations and has maintained regular inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent routine inspections showing compliance. Recent years have seen numerous parking-related incidents in the vicinity, including multiple cases of driveway blocking and sidewalk parking between 2019 and 2024, these being primarily external issues unrelated to building maintenance or resident safety. A tree maintenance request was resolved in 2023, and there was one case of illegal postings in 2021 that was addressed.

Risk rating

How 250 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
36th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1203 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.

Number of units

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 52.5%
Moderate concern 23.8%
Severe concern 23.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
