Initial analysis

The property at 1705-1715 Church Street is an 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood, owned by T & A Drolapas & Sons LP and constructed in 1977. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements, including the installation of energy-efficient vinyl windows in 2011 (with a U-factor of 0.30) and a complete reroofing project in 2008 costing $16,000. In 2002, the building underwent a routine housing inspection that revealed multiple fire safety issues, including smoke enclosure door repairs, egress obstructions, and the need to post gas meter instructional diagrams; however, all these violations were promptly abated within two weeks of being flagged.

Recent activity around the property has been primarily related to external infrastructure concerns, with several 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding sidewalks, trees, and parking issues. Notably, there was a sewage backup issue in May 2024 that was resolved by the Public Utilities Commission. The most recent significant building permit was for window replacements in 2011, and the property has maintained an active compliance record since the 2002 violations were addressed. The only recorded fire incident was a malfunctioning alarm system, with no civilian injuries reported. The property underwent a CEQA clearance process, which was completed and closed, confirming compliance with environmental regulations.

Risk rating

How 1705-1715 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.

Neighborhood percentile
