Initial analysis

This four-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 124-130 Laguna Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Lobelia Properties LLC, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone significant recent improvements. Most notably, the building added two new basement units in 2022, completed a comprehensive fire safety upgrade including a new sprinkler system and fire alarm improvements between 2020-2021, and underwent substantial unit renovations including kitchen and bathroom updates in 2022. The building has achieved compliance with San Francisco's mandatory soft-story retrofitting requirements, receiving a Certificate of Final Completion.

Recent tenant complaints from January 2025 highlight ongoing maintenance and safety concerns, including issues with bathroom ventilation, window security, and pest control in the basement utility area. Additionally, there are concerns about a new steam exhaust installation at the neighboring property (100 Laguna Street) affecting the building's comfort, and unresolved issues related to dryer exhaust venting. A cluster of building violations was documented in 2019 related to various maintenance issues including damaged windows, ceiling/ wall repairs, and appliance concerns, though these were abated by June 2019. The building has maintained active compliance with building codes and safety requirements, as evidenced by multiple completed permits for system upgrades and repairs, though some recent maintenance and environmental issues persist according to current tenant reports.

Risk rating

How 124-130 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.
