Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 44-46 Lupine Avenue, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1951, currently owned by the Peter Chovanes 2007 Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a gas house line extension completed in 2018. Prior to that, a comprehensive electrical update was performed in 2003, involving the rewiring of all receptacles and kitchen outlets in both units. A permitted interior remodeling project from 1998 aimed to convert a ground floor storage room into social space, though records indicate this permit expired.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in recent years, particularly between 2022-2024, with multiple incidents of illegal parking and driveway blockages reported. These incidents were generally addressed by parking enforcement, with most cases being resolved upon officer response or through vehicle removal. Other service calls related to the building's immediate surroundings include a street cleaning request for Christmas tree removal in 2021, various reports of abandoned vehicles (all resolved with vehicles gone upon inspection), a street lighting issue in 2017, and a general complaint that was addressed by the Department of Public Works in 2019. While the building itself has not shown significant maintenance issues in recent years, the concentration of parking-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with the availability of on-street parking in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 44-46 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.
