Initial analysis

The Gee Family Trust-owned multi-family residential building at 137 Wood Street in Lone Mountain is a two-story, three-unit structure built in 1908, with a rich history of maintenance and improvements. Most recently, construction permits have been filed or issued for significant interior upgrades, including a major $120,000 remodeling project in late 2024 targeting kitchens and bathrooms on levels 2 and 3, as well as electrical system upgrades including light replacements and the addition of a full bath on level 3. In September 2024, the building began an exterior upgrade with the installation of nine new aluminum clad double-hung windows on the front facade. The building's infrastructure has seen substantial improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2014, replacement of a wall furnace and installation of a new forced-air unit, and a comprehensive electrical system upgrade with a house rewire and 100-amp subpanel replacement scheduled for December 2024.

Historical records show previous significant work including a vertical and horizontal addition in 1991 (costing $212,000), installation of a sprinkler system in 1993, and the addition of 28 aluminum windows in 1983. The building has experienced minimal issues in recent years, with only routine urban maintenance matters reported through 311 calls, such as graffiti removal, street cleaning, and utility maintenance, none of which were directly related to building safety or habitability. Recent improvements indicate ongoing investment in the property's maintenance and modernization, with particular attention to both interior comforts and exterior aesthetics.

Risk rating

How 137 Wood 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.
