Initial analysis

The three-unit, single-story multi-family residential building at 1404-1406 Lyon Street, owned by Gad Sabrina N, has a history dating back to 1900 and is located in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. The most significant recent improvement was the addition of a bathroom in Unit B in 2018, for which permits were issued and included plumbing and electrical work (though these permits later expired). This renovation project was followed by a tenant complaint in July 2018 regarding inadequate hot water supply, with the tenant noting that all three units shared a single 48-gallon water heater, and raising concerns about the building's unit designation versus its actual configuration.

The building's documented history includes several street space and sidewalk permits, most recently in 2018 and 2003, though these were minor in nature. A notable incident occurred in August 2011 when the building received a fire safety violation regarding combustible storage, though this was abated within 20 days. The property has undergone routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services over the years, including a scheduled inspection in 2004. While most of the building's documented issues have been resolved or are no longer active, the 2018 hot water complaint raises questions about the adequacy of the building's water heating system, though there is no record of any subsequent violations regarding this issue.

Risk rating

How 1404-1406 Lyon 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
49th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 342 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.0%
Moderate concern 24.4%
Severe concern 6.6%
