Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 41-43 Blake Street, owned by Tom George, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1961 located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood. The most significant maintenance work on record was the reroofing project completed in July 2018, which involved an investment of $11,300. Recent infrastructure concerns include a serious sidewalk issue reported in February 2023 involving a collapsed section due to a sunken utility vault. The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking, particularly in recent years, with eight documented cases between 2022 and 2024 involving vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks. Most of these incidents were resolved through citations or officer intervention, though some cases, such as an August 2023 incident involving a Subaru and a 2022 case with a Ford Focus, resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. Additional public works matters have included graffiti removal from structure, sidewalk, and curb areas in early 2023, along with parking-related complaints in various months, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking management in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 41-43 Blake 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
