Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 28-30 Napier Lane is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1927, currently owned by Sherry L Goodman & Jordan D. Over the past several decades, the property has undergone several significant improvements, including a complete re-roofing in 2009 ($5,000), a foundation upgrade and basement wall replacement in 2003 ($18,000), and retaining wall construction in the rear yard in 1994. Earlier renovations included bathroom remodeling in 1996. The building experienced multiple fire-related incidents between 2019-2022, though thankfully none resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage. These incidents included false alarms, a cooking fire (contained), and a CO detector malfunction. In September 2019, multiple fire code violations were issued regarding alarm systems and other safety equipment, though these were subsequently abated.

More recently, the property has faced several urban infrastructure challenges, particularly in early 2025, with multiple reports of sidewalk blockages due to unlicensed scooters, two noise complaints, and transportation-related service requests. Utility-related issues have also been noted, with two electric service requests in January 2025, both of which were resolved. The building's historical maintenance record shows regular attention to structural and safety systems, though some permits from the 1990s appear to have expired without completion records. While the property has experienced various issues over the years, including fire safety concerns and recent urban infrastructure challenges, there is no indication of persistent unresolved safety hazards as of the most recent records available.

Risk rating

How 28-30 Napier Ln'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 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 89 are predicted to be safer.
