Initial analysis

The property at 16-18 Valley Street in Noe Valley is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, containing two units and currently owned by George & Juliana Theodoride. The building has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges in recent years, particularly between 2010-2014. A major reconstruction phase occurred between 2013-2014, including foundation replacement, structural strengthening, bathroom remodels, window replacements, and extensive electrical and plumbing upgrades costing over $200,000. This period also saw the installation of new fireplaces, comprehensive electrical rewiring, and bathroom improvements.

The building had a significant violation case filed in 2010 that highlighted multiple safety concerns, including unauthorized wiring, plumbing issues, inadequate smoke detectors, and ventilation problems. These violations, along with complaints about illegal units, construction debris, and heating problems, were abated by November 2013 through various permitted improvements. More recent issues include two sewer-related complaints in 2023 and a report of odor from the side sewer vent. The property has maintained active compliance since the major renovations, with recent permits showing legitimate improvements, though there have been some maintenance issues like broken glass windows and plumbing concerns.

Risk rating

How 16-18 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

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 902 are predicted to be safer.
