Initial analysis

The property at 532-534 Lyon Street in Park North is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1904. The building underwent significant renovation in 2015, including a major project valued at $622,475 that involved relocating unit #532 from the second to the first floor, combining second and third floors into unit #534, infilling rear areas, and comprehensive renovations of kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces in both units. This project also included restoration of the front facade, installation of a new electrical system with 200-amp service, multiple new appliances, and plumbing upgrades including four and a half bathrooms, two kitchens, and two laundry facilities. Additional improvements included partial foundation replacement, new underfloor heating systems, and various other structural and aesthetic updates.

The building's recent history shows responsible maintenance and updating of facilities, though there was one building complaint filed in June 2015 regarding construction debris, which is now inactive. The property has experienced some external issues typical for the area, with several 311 calls regarding street defects and encampments between 2013 and 2018, as well as parking violations in the vicinity. The most recent activity related to the property was an encampment report filed in June 2024, which remains open. The extensive renovations completed in 2015, including a $15,000 fence replacement in the rear yard, suggest the property has received significant investment in improving its systems and living spaces, though some plumbing and electrical permits from 2014-2015 were marked as expired or cancelled during the renovation period.

Risk rating

How 532-534 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
71th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 231 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

Property class: multi-family flat

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.7%
Moderate concern 18.3%
Severe concern 20.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
