Initial analysis

811 Lyon Street is a 1-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building located in Park North, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Joseph R. & Milla G. Leclair. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being a complete reroofing in 2021 costing $19,300. In 2015-2016, the building underwent substantial renovations including exterior wall insulation, electrical upgrades (rewiring of basement, installation of a 30-amp subpanel, and additional electrical fixtures), plumbing updates (bathroom remodel and water heater replacement), and structural modifications. The building experienced a fire incident in 2002 affecting the exterior siding, which was subsequently repaired.

Recent activity at the property in 2023-2024 has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple citations issued for illegal parking between December 2022 and May 2023, and several complaints about parking violations. There have also been some maintenance issues including graffiti on the mailbox (July 2023) and a missed trash collection (November 2024). A fire alarm system issue was reported and resolved in July 2022. The building's systems appear to be well-maintained, with records showing regular updates to essential systems including multiple furnace replacements (2012-2013) and comprehensive electrical and plumbing renovations in 2015. The property has been through periodic inspections and permit processes, with all documented work being completed satisfactorily according to permit records.

Risk rating

How 811 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
89th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 88 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.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.3%
Moderate concern 17.3%
Severe concern 8.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
