Initial analysis

The property at 1710 Church Street in Noe Valley is a two-story, mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing both residential (2 units) and commercial space. The building has experienced a series of concerning events in recent years, particularly regarding its maintenance and compliance with building codes. Most notably, there are currently four active building violations (as of December 2024) involving the upstairs flat (1710 1/2) with issues related to unknown use/improperly installed plumbing, and concerns about deck and roof drainage connections. Of particular concern is an active violation from April 2024 regarding unauthorized demolition work and removal of plaster in the commercial space, along with installation of a new concrete slab and entry ramp without proper permits. These ongoing compliance issues are being monitored under the SFBC Monthly Monitoring Fee program.

The building's recent history shows significant renovation activity as well, with substantial work being undertaken in 2024 to improve accessibility, including the installation of an ADA-compliant bathroom with associated electrical and plumbing work, plus the addition of new electrical receptacles. The property has a history of vacancy concerns, with multiple complaints about being abandoned or blighted properties filed between 2019 and 2024, though some of these complaints have been marked as not active. Infrastructure issues outside the building include a recently reported sidewalk collapse (September 2024) that remains open. While some recent maintenance work has been properly permitted, including roofing work in 2012 and 1993, the pattern of unpermitted work and current violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance.

Risk rating

How 1710 Church 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.
