Initial analysis

1546 Noe Street is a two-unit, multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Michael P. Gratz. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2014-2015, including an in-kind deck replacement, garage expansion, roof deck surface repairs, and electrical upgrades. During this renovation period, the plumbing system was also updated with the relocation of a 4-inch main sewer line and the installation of new drainage infrastructure. Earlier maintenance records show attention to structural issues in 1994 with dry rot repairs, and interior remodeling work in 1995 that included updates to the kitchen, bathroom, and various interior features.

The building's recent history has been marked by multiple parking-related incidents, with several complaints about abandoned vehicles and driveway blockages between October 2024 and January 2025. Additionally, there have been recurring issues with waste management, specifically concerning garbage receptacle placement, with multiple reports filed in late 2024. While these recent issues primarily relate to street-level concerns rather than building conditions, they may affect the overall neighborhood experience. The property has maintained proper permits for its major modifications, with the most recent completed work focusing on both safety improvements and functional enhancements to the garage and drainage systems.

Risk rating

How 1546 Noe 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
