Initial analysis

The 222 Valley Street property, located in Noe Valley, is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1954 and currently owned by the Scholz 1992 Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant upgrades, including a comprehensive electrical service upgrade in 2005 that improved the system to 200a/240v with five meters, and a reroofing project in 1996. A notable fire safety concern was addressed in October 2008 when routine inspections revealed deficiencies in smoke detector and fire extinguisher compliance, though these violations were promptly resolved by November 2008. More recently, in February 2017, there was a temporary issue with blocked exits that was corrected within one week. The property has experienced numerous abandoned vehicle complaints in the surrounding area between 2020 and 2024, with all reported vehicles being gone upon arrival of enforcement personnel, and one driveway blocking incident in March 2020 that was resolved by responding officers. A street space and sidewalk permit was issued in 2015, indicating ongoing maintenance and investment in the property's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 222 Valley 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
