Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 300 Lily Street in Hayes Valley is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Lucas Randall R. The building's maintenance record shows one permitted roofing project from 1994, though this permit has since expired. In 2024-2025, the property and surrounding area have experienced numerous incidents requiring municipal response, with patterns suggesting ongoing neighborhood challenges. These include multiple reports of garbage and debris (including needles and abandoned furniture), sidewalk maintenance issues, and various street cleaning needs. Of particular note was a October 2024 infrastructure concern involving three sewer manholes not raised to grade on the 300 block of Laguna Street, which required multiple agency referrals for resolution.

The building's safety record shows regular fire department responses, primarily related to alarm system activations (both false and malfunction-related), with no reported civilian injuries or actual fires. A June 2023 response indicated the sidewalk was ADA compliant despite a Shared Spaces service request, and there was one chemical hazard call in 2024 with no reported spill or leak. The property's recent service requests have primarily involved external conditions rather than building-specific issues, with the majority being resolved or requiring no action. Separate from the building itself, the neighborhood has recorded various municipal service interactions, including parking enforcement and traffic sign maintenance.

Risk rating

How 300 Lily 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 82.6%
Moderate concern 9.9%
Severe concern 7.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
