Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 229 Valley St in Noe Valley, owned by Angelita Chairez Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1965 and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past few decades. Most notable recent improvements include window replacements in 2022 ($10,909), a re-roofing project in 2020 ($16,800), and consistent window upgrading efforts from 2015-2017 involving multiple units. The building's infrastructure has also been maintained, with a complete sewer line and house trap replacement completed in 2012.

The property experienced a series of fire safety violations in November 2000, including issues with combustible storage in the garage, smoke enclosure door closers, and smoke detector requirements, though all these violations were promptly abated by January 2001. A 2010 fire complaint regarding an overcrowded place of assembly was resolved within a week. More recent building inspections have been routine, with the last one in 2008 showing no active violations. The property has undergone various maintenance and repair work over the years, including a bathroom remodeling in 1998 and installation of a garage door opener in 2003. The building's immediate vicinity has seen multiple municipal service calls in 2024, primarily concerning street maintenance and tree management, though these external issues do not directly affect the building's internal living conditions.

Risk rating

How 229 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
49th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 958 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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 60.5%
Moderate concern 19.3%
Severe concern 20.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
