Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2625-2627 Lyon Street in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923, currently owned by Pink Lion LLC. The property went through significant renovations in 2012, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel (valued at $38,000), with associated electrical and plumbing work completed in February 2012. Prior improvements in 2011 involved the installation of laundry facilities (two washers, two dryers, and a laundry sink) and a heating system boiler, though the boiler permit is listed as expired. The building experienced a sewage backup incident in October 2012 that required PUC Sewer Operations intervention, and there was a subsequent sewer line replacement of the 2600 block of Lyon Street coordinated by DPW-BoE.

In terms of recent activity, the property has been mostly stable, with one notable tenant buyout reported in August 2017 for $34,000. The street surrounding the building has been subject to multiple pavement defect reports in 2024, with at least three cases resolved by the Department of Public Works. Other exterior maintenance issues have included missing street signs and various cleaning concerns, though these are municipal infrastructure matters rather than building-specific problems. The only recorded noise complaint dates back to July 2018. The property's recent maintenance history shows regular upkeep, particularly in 2012 when multiple systems were upgraded, though the expiration of some permits may warrant further investigation.

Risk rating

How 2625-2627 Lyon 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
48th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 448 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.

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 56.3%
Moderate concern 23.4%
Severe concern 20.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
