Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 49-51 Lupine Avenue, owned by Pun Kin-kee & Lao Veronica, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1951, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably a substantial renovation in 2014 costing $50,000 that included remodeling both units' kitchens and four bathrooms, installing new electrical service with a 200-amp upgrade, and complying with CEC requirements. This renovation was accompanied by the replacement of 17 windows ($9,000) and the installation of new furnaces, all completed or properly concluded by 2015. Earlier maintenance work included deck repairs and repainting in 2012, sidewalk work in 2007, and reroofing in 2003.

The building has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, particularly in recent years, with multiple incidents reported between 2020 and 2023, including four instances in 2023 alone, with the most recent being in November 2023. While most graffiti cases have been resolved, several were affected by temporary enforcement suspensions during the COVID pandemic. The property has also faced occasional neighborhood challenges, including a recent encampment cleanup in October 2023 and a driveway blocking incident in October 2023 involving a moving truck. A minor fire alarm system issue was reported and corrected in June 2011, with no civilian injuries recorded in any incidents. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, with all major work being properly permitted and completed, including comprehensive electrical, plumbing, and bathroom remodeling work in 2014.

Risk rating

How 49-51 Lupine 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.
