Initial analysis

The 2-unit residential building at 43-45 Cook Street, owned by Christa L Seid, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1987 in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement works over the years, with the most substantial renovations occurring in 2012, including a $9,000 roof replacement and $14,000 in siding repairs on the south side, which involved replacing damaged plywood and siding visible from the street. Historical records show earlier work including the construction of an entrance wall and retaining wall between the garage and storage areas in 1986, followed by a demolition permit that same year, suggesting this structure replaced a previous building on the site.

The property has experienced recurring parking issues in recent months, with multiple complaints about vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. There are two open noise complaints from late 2023 that were referred to SFPD for handling, and a tree root issue affecting the sidewalk that remains in progress as of December 2023. A notable incident in 2017 involved hoarding conditions that were reportedly corrected within three weeks. While there are only two units, it's worth mentioning that a tenant buyout occurred in March 2019 at the nearby 59 Cook Street address, involving two tenants and a $35,000 payment, though this is technically not part of the 43-45 Cook Street property's record.

Risk rating

How 43-45 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
