Initial analysis

The property at 274-276 Valley St is a two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood. Built in 1900, the four-unit apartment building is currently owned by Lau Ana Rosa. The building's history reveals several significant events and maintenance issues, particularly between 2001 and 2008, when multiple violations were documented. These included security concerns (self-closing devices on exterior doors), safety issues (fire egress obstruction), and maintenance needs (roof gutter installation, stucco weatherproofing, and paint conditions posing potential lead hazards). All these violations were eventually resolved, with most being addressed by June 2001, though one set of complaints from 2008 related to building condition and fire safety were noted as non-active by November 2008.

In more recent years, the building has experienced relatively few serious issues, with the most notable recent incident being a missing side sewer vent cover reported in October 2021, which was promptly resolved. A routine inspection of common areas was conducted in 2008, and there was a low water pressure complaint in 2001 that was resolved within a month. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as documented in 311 calls, including parking violations, sidewalk cleaning needs, and graffiti removal requests, though these external matters are not directly related to the building's condition or management. A noise complaint and an environmental health service request were recorded in 2019, both of which were accepted for investigation.

Risk rating

How 274-276 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
35th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1221 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 54.6%
Moderate concern 22.7%
Severe concern 22.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
