Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 150-152 Cook Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Zaul Living Trust, was constructed in 1988 and is a two-story structure classified as Flats & Duplex. The property has received substantial updates over the past decade, with the most recent work completed in 2024 including a reroofing project costing $21,300 and the replacement of three furnaces, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of critical systems. In 2021, all 24 windows were replaced with fiberglass units of the same size and style, and a significant renovation project in 2015 involved comprehensive updates to all three apartments, including kitchen renovations, cabinet replacements, and bathroom improvements, totaling approximately $88,000. The building's electrical and plumbing systems received attention during the 2015 renovations, with the replacement of multiple electrical outlets and switches in all units, along with corresponding plumbing work.

The building's history shows minimal violations or safety concerns, with only one set of fire-related violations recorded in 2011 regarding egress obstructions and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were promptly resolved within two months. Routine housing inspections were conducted in 1999 and 2004, both of which had no recorded violations. The property is currently in good standing, with all recent permits marked as complete and no active violations on record. The only recurring issues documented have been related to parking enforcement, with several complaints about driveway blocking between 2019 and 2022, though these are external to the building's maintenance and safety record.

Risk rating

How 150-152 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
