Initial analysis

The property at 2833 Laguna Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood. Built in 1900 and owned by David G. and Lynne J. Leach, this flats and duplex building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in September 2024, work was approved for re-roofing at a cost of $12,600, and in February 2022, the water main line by the sidewalk was successfully replaced. The building experienced notable issues in 1996 related to water leakage on the slab, requiring the installation of a sump pump and related plumbing work, which was completed along with subsequent modifications to the original design. Historical permit records from 1996 also show an earlier roofing project that ultimately expired without completion.

The property has been subject to various municipal management tasks and resident concerns in recent years, particularly between 2024-2025, including multiple parking enforcement actions for sidewalk parking and driveway blocking, as well as specific maintenance issues. The most pressing current concerns involve an open case regarding tree roots damaging the sidewalk (as of August 2024) and a previously reported curb defect. Other resolved issues include violations related to waste management and street maintenance, such as debris and container management. Significant changes to the property's status were proposed in a variance request to convert the two-unit building into a three-floor single-unit commercial office building without parking, though this appears to be no longer active based on the closed status of the planning records.

Risk rating

How 2833 Laguna 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
53th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 405 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 75.1%
Moderate concern 7.9%
Severe concern 17.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
