Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 28 Iris Avenue in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1948, currently owned by the Pauline Louie Marital Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades, with the most substantial recent work being a $35,000 dry rot repair project completed in 2022 that addressed the front stair landing and ramp, stair banister, and front balconies. Prior to that, in 2016, the building received a new roof under a $15,000 permit. Historical records show a bathroom renovation was attempted in 1999 involving sink cabinet and tile replacement, though that permit appears to have expired.

The property has had minimal incident reporting, with only two abandoned vehicle complaints in the vicinity recorded through the 311 system in 2014 and 2019, both of which were resolved when the vehicles were found to be gone upon inspection. The most recent maintenance activity suggests proactive upkeep of the building's structural elements, particularly given the attention paid to both water ingress (through the roof work) and wood rot issues. The combined record of permits and repairs indicates regular maintenance has been conducted, though the age of the building (75 years) and its corresponding maintenance needs should be considered.

Risk rating

How 28 Iris Ave'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.
