AI summary

The property at 756 San Jose Ave is a two-unit, single-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by the Herman-hansen Family Trust, this apartment building has undergone several infrastructure improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing project in 2005 costing $6,300, and more recently, work on a new sewer and water main in September 2008. A street space and sidewalk permit was also issued in 2008 at minimal cost.

The building's recent history from 2023 through 2024 shows a significant number of municipal service interactions, particularly related to street cleaning and parking enforcement. There were multiple incidents of driveway blocking in September 2024, with at least one resulting in a parking citation. Various street cleaning issues were documented throughout 2024, including reports of garbage, debris, and yard waste on or near the property. A flooding incident on the property was reported in July 2024 but deemed invalid upon investigation. Among the more routine municipal interactions, there were also reports of an abandoned vehicle (September 2023) and seasonal debris removal (Christmas tree, January 2023) that were promptly addressed. While these incidents primarily involve external property management and neighborhood conditions rather than internal building issues, the volume of street-related service calls in recent months is notable.

Risk rating

How 756 San Jose Ave'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
39th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1146 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 73.0%
Moderate concern 18.7%
Severe concern 8.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
