Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 369 28th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Louie Living Trust and constructed in 1964, has recently encountered several significant maintenance and safety compliance issues. As of February 2023, the property has active violations related to multiple building safety concerns, including the need for ceiling preparation and painting, removal of combustible storage or installation of automatic fire sprinklers, and submission of necessary safety compliance affidavits (Section 604 and smoke/carbon compliance). These violations also include notable considerations regarding lead-based paint safety procedures, which have been officially documented as requiring attention.

The building's historical record shows a pattern of maintenance and compliance oversight, with routine inspections conducted in 1999 and 2008, the latter being a general maintenance and compliance review of common areas. A documented water leak incident occurred in May 1999, involving bathroom tub water damage from unit #4 to unit #1. More recently, neighborhood concerns have centered around parking issues, with multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk parking and abandoned vehicles between 2021 and 2024. Additional infrastructure concerns include an open case regarding a lifted sidewalk defect reported in May 2022, and a tree maintenance issue involving a dead tree reported in July 2024. While there has been one documented fire-related incident described as a "good intent call, other" with no civilian injuries, this was not classified as a true emergency. The property's most pressing current issues appear to be concentrated on building safety compliance and maintenance matters as evidenced by the active violations filed in February 2023.

Risk rating

How 369 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

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1240 are predicted to be safer.
