Initial analysis

The two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building at 266 Valley Street in Noe Valley dates back to 1900 and is currently owned by the Laurie Anne Carey Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2006-2008. This included major structural work in 2006 with a $75,000 foundation repair project that involved new crawl space footings, plywood cripple walls, and floor joist rebuilding, along with a comprehensive renovation in 2007 that addressed wood rot removal and interior improvements. During 2007, extensive plumbing and electrical upgrades were performed, including bathroom and kitchen remodels, installation of new water heaters and appliances, and a complete electrical system overhaul with new circuits and service panels. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including a sewer repair in 2014 and historical records indicate roofing work was completed in 1995.

Recent concerns primarily relate to parking issues outside the property, with multiple 311 calls regarding abandoned vehicles and driveway blocking incidents between 2018 and 2024. Of particular note, there was an environmental health complaint filed in October 2018 that was transferred to the Department of Public Health for investigation. Two noise-related reports were recorded in mid-2019, though their specific nature and impact on resident experience are not detailed in the records. The building appears to have met its basic maintenance requirements over the past decade, with no recent major structural or systems upgrades recorded since the 2006-2008 renovation period, which had a combined value of over $85,000.

Risk rating

How 266 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
81th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 357 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 84.8%
Moderate concern 10.1%
Severe concern 5.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
