Initial analysis

The Frelicot Family LP property at 2001 Castro Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1974 in Noe Valley. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to improvements, with the most recent significant work being deck repairs in 2010 ($3,000). Earlier improvements included substantial window upgrades in 2001 ($17,000) and 2007 ($5,000), and a major kitchen renovation in 2000 ($30,000). The building underwent two housing inspections in 2000 and 2008, during which several fire safety violations were identified and subsequently resolved by September 2008. These violations included issues with fire extinguisher maintenance and combustible storage, though there were no reported civilian injuries from any fire-related incidents.

Recent activity at the property primarily consists of external municipal service calls, with multiple reports in late 2024 related to abandoned vehicles, illegal parking, and street cleanliness issues in the surrounding area. Notably, there was one building fire incident recorded, determined to be unintentional with no civilian injuries reported; however, the specific date of this incident is not provided. The property appears to have maintained compliance with housing codes since 2008, and there are currently no active violations or complaints on record. The most recent building-related service calls as of January 2025 involve street lighting issues and parking enforcement matters, which are external to the building management's responsibilities.

Risk rating

How 2001 Castro 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.
