Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1537 Noe Street in Noe Valley, owned by Andrew Repetto and R Cremeans, has a documented history of maintenance and infrastructure issues since its construction in 1900. The building underwent reroofing in 2008 at a cost of $10,000, and in 2012, significant plumbing work was completed to replace approximately 30 feet of sewer line from the building to the property line, including addressing root intrusion at a depth of 4 feet. That same year, there was a brief investigation into unauthorized work, though this complaint was resolved within a day. More recently, the property experienced a sewage backup incident in October 2021, which was addressed and resolved by PUC Sewer Operations.

The surrounding area has faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in 2023, with multiple reports of offensive graffiti and pavement defects, including an open pavement defect case as of January 2024. The neighborhood has also experienced some transient issues, as evidenced by a report of an abandoned vehicle in March 2023. While most street and public space issues have been resolved in a timely manner, including graffiti removal and pavement repairs, these incidents reflect ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity. The building's infrastructure maintenance record shows attention to major systems, with prompt responses to plumbing and roofing needs, though the relatively recent history of sewer line work might warrant continued monitoring of the plumbing systems.

Risk rating

How 1537 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
77th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 432 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.0%
Moderate concern 9.3%
Severe concern 4.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
