Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1414-1416 Lyon Street, located in San Francisco's Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by Joseph Gettler. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent major renovations focused on bathroom upgrades. In 2016, a comprehensive bathroom remodel was completed on the top level, costing $18,000, which included new cabinets, plumbing fixtures, and lighting improvements, followed by a similar bathroom renovation in 2015 costing $9,037 that featured lighting upgrades and new fixtures. The building's infrastructure work dates back to 2002 with a $10,000 reroofing project, though this permit ultimately expired. Notable modifications to the property's use occurred in 1999, when three rooms in the basement were converted into a private art studio, following earlier basement storage improvements from 1988.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including plumbing and electrical work associated with the bathroom renovations, with all recent permits marked as complete. A potentially concerning incident was logged through the 311 system in January 2014 involving hazardous materials on the street/sidewalk, specifically liquids including oil/paint, though this case was resolved. Most recently, a planning application has been submitted proposing to designate the property as historic through the Mills Act, indicating no planned alterations or changes to the zoning or planning code. The permit history demonstrates a pattern of maintaining and upgrading the property's facilities, with particular attention paid to the bathrooms in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1414-1416 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

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 181 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.7%
Moderate concern 18.6%
Severe concern 10.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
