Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1932-1938 Taylor Street in Russian Hill, owned by Lancelotti Exempt Family Tr, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its lifetime. Most recently, in March 2023, approximately $95,000 was spent on water-related improvements including installation of a French drain system with sump pump, repairs to a rotted deck section, and drainage modifications at the garage door. Previous major improvements include the complete replacement of 23 street-facing wood windows with energy-efficient double-pane units in 2017, and a comprehensive electrical upgrade in 2006 featuring rewiring and installation of new circuits, switches, and outlets.

The building has experienced several infrastructure and maintenance issues over the past two decades, with the most recent concerns in 2024 involving construction materials blocking street access and a gravel pile that required attention from city services. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in November 2005 regarding fire safety and emergency exit issues, including requirements for smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and smoke enclosure improvements, though these were all abated by January 2006. The property has had periodic issues with water management, as evidenced by a 2004 complaint about garage water leakage through a retaining wall, and more recent drainage concerns addressed in the 2023 repairs. Other notable improvements include a rooftop replacement in 1995 and various street space permits issued over the years for construction and maintenance activities. The building has maintained an active permit history, including a recent (2024) complaint about expired construction permits and associated materials, though this issue appears to have been addressed shortly thereafter.

Risk rating

How 1932-1938 Taylor 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 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 317 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 60.2%
Moderate concern 11.9%
Severe concern 27.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
