Initial analysis

The property at 1550-1556 Noe Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Horwitz Marital Tr. The building has undergone several notable events, with the most recent significant development being an active health and safety inspection of common areas initiated in November 2022. A comprehensive series of violations was recorded in April 2010, primarily focused on fire safety and building maintenance issues, including requirements for fire extinguishers, removal of combustible storage, and inspection of building attachments, though all these violations were abated by May 2010. An earlier violation from December 2007 regarding stair repairs was also addressed. The only building permit on record is for sidewalk repair work issued in June 2004.

Recent municipal service calls in the vicinity of the property between 2017 and 2024 have primarily addressed street and sidewalk maintenance issues, including a damaged tree (February 2024), a curb defect (June 2024), and various cleaning matters. Multiple historical routine housing inspections have taken place, with records dating back to 1999, covering various maintenance and safety aspects of the building and its surroundings. The property has experienced typical urban challenges seen in its location, as evidenced by 311 calls regarding illegal postings, graffiti, and abandoned vehicles, though these are primarily street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 1550-1556 Noe 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.
