Initial analysis

The property at 1614 Church Street in Noe Valley is a two-story multi-family residential building classified as Flats & Duplex, owned by Robert R. and Mildred D. Shadel and constructed in 1910. The building's permit history shows several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2004 when a bay window installation was undertaken, following the removal of two double-hung windows, at a cost of $8,700. Earlier that same year, there was a permitted project to replace exterior siding on the left side of the house. Of particular note is a fire-related incident in December 2003 that required replacement of an egress stair at the building's side, though this permit ultimately expired. The building has undergone regular maintenance, including a reroofing project completed in 1996.

Recent activity at the property has been relatively stable, with no major building permits issued in recent years. The most recent incidents have primarily involved street-related matters, including multiple parking enforcement calls in 2023-2024 and some street cleaning observations. There have been regular temporary moving sign requests in 2014 and 2017, suggesting normal resident turnover activities. The property has experienced some sidewalk cleaning challenges, particularly noted in July 2023 when conditions were described as exceeding the capabilities of street cleaning equipment. While there have been several parking-related incidents reported through the 311 system, these appear to be typical urban neighborhood issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 1614 Church 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
81th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 357 are predicted to be safer.
