Initial analysis

The property at 1642-1644 Church Street in Noe Valley is a 2-story, multi-family residential building containing three units, built in 1922 and currently owned by Hilaly Tariq. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including two complete roofing projects in 2024 (one costing $27,000 and another $6,000), and electrical service upgrades from 100-amp to 200-amp systems completed in 2018 and 2020. Historical records indicate the building has received multiple permits for roofing work over the decades, including a major roof project in 1991 and kitchen renovations in 1999.

The building experienced a series of lead paint-related issues in 2013-2014, with violations documented regarding disturbed lead-based paint and damaged paint that posed potential health hazards, though these issues were officially abated by August 2014. There have been three complaints about unpermitted work in 2016-2019, though all were eventually marked as not active. Recent 311 calls (2021-2024) primarily relate to external issues such as sidewalk defects, hazardous materials, and street cleaning concerns, with the most recent being a current open case regarding a lifted sidewalk due to tree roots. A significant planning review indicates a lot split proposal to create separate parcels including provisions for a replacement rent-controlled unit, though it's currently listed as informational status.

Risk rating

How 1642-1644 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
