Initial analysis

The Hitchcock Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 408 30th Street in Noe Valley, which was constructed in 1906 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex property. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to upkeep, with roofing work completed in 1989, and more recent exterior maintenance including trim repairs, shingle replacement, and repainting in 1996, though that permit is now expired. Of particular concern, there was a documented mold and mildew issue reported in May 2017 that was resolved through Housing Inspection Services, as well as a temporary fire safety violation for blocked exits in March 2017 that was corrected by May 2017.

The property underwent a crucial verification of its legal two-family dwelling status in 1985, establishing its current configuration. In recent years, there have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2014 and 2017, though these incidents were generally resolved promptly, with vehicles being gone upon inspection. While these external parking issues are not directly related to the building's condition, they may impact the neighborhood experience. The most recent significant event related to the building itself was the 2017 mold/mildew incident, with no major building-related complaints recorded since that time.

Risk rating

How 408 30Th 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

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 282 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.5%
Moderate concern 10.2%
Severe concern 5.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
