Initial analysis

The Pating Family Living Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 1828-1830 Laguna Street in San Francisco's Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. Built in 1900, this flats/duplex property underwent significant renovations in 2018-2019, including a comprehensive $150,000 remodel of both flats that featured bathroom and kitchen upgrades, additional bathrooms, lighting improvements, and general repairs. The renovation project also included the installation of new electrical systems throughout both units, new forced air heating systems, and the replacement of 18 windows in the sides and rear of the building. Additional improvements comprised the installation of kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, tankless water heaters, and various electrical fixtures, with all major renovation work being completed by October 2019.

Prior to the renovations, the property experienced several concerning issues in early 2018, including complaints about disrepair and a brief period of vacancy that triggered a violation under the Vacant Building Ordinance, though these issues were resolved by March 2018. The building's address was officially changed from 1820 Laguna Street to 1830 Laguna Street in early 2020. More recently, there have been multiple street-related complaints near the property, including issues with parking enforcement and sidewalk maintenance, with the most pressing being an open sidewalk defect reported in January 2025. While the building has had its share of maintenance-related incidents over the years, the significant 2018-2019 renovation period resulted in substantial improvements to the overall condition and amenities of the property, and there have been no major building code violations or habitability complaints since 2018.

Risk rating

How 1828-1830 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

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.

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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.7%
Moderate concern 9.4%
Severe concern 4.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
