Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 25-27 Cook Street, owned by Joe L & Effie Lee 2011 Family, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1983 in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood. The building's maintenance history shows two significant structural improvements: a street space and sidewalk permit issued in 2011 valued at $1, and a major reroofing project completed in 2008 costing $8,000. The property's early history includes completed permits from 1982 for its designation as a flats building.

Recent municipal service records reveal some ongoing concerns related to the property and its immediate vicinity. Most notably, there is currently an opened case (as of April 2024) regarding tree roots lifting the sidewalk, representing a potential hazard for pedestrians. The street has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, particularly with vehicles parking on the sidewalk, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2024. Other recent incidents include a defaced parking sign (June 2023), an abandoned toter (November 2023), and a resolved parking issue involving a vehicle that could not be validated by responding officers (January 2024). The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with no major structural or safety violations reported through the available data.

Risk rating

How 25-27 Cook 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
