Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 349 Lyon St in Park North, owned by the Beglitsoff George Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900. The most substantial work occurred in 2009-2010, when major structural upgrades were completed including foundation replacement, the installation of a moment frame, steel beam, and shear wall as part of voluntary seismic work ($35,000), along with plumbing modifications including a new sewer main, relocated gas lines, floor drains, and a laundry room ($39,000). The building underwent additional improvements in 2015 with the installation of a new commercial meter for computer shop purposes, though this permit has since expired. Historical records show earlier modifications from 1988-1989 including a horizontal addition and reroofing work.

The property has experienced recurring issues with false alarms and system malfunctions, including multiple smoke detector activations and alarm system soundings with no fires detected, as well as one incident involving a stalled elevator rescue and one requiring odor removal - though fortunately, none of these incidents resulted in civilian injuries. Recent history from late 2024 shows several incidents relating to parking enforcement and street cleaning, particularly with multiple citations for blocking driveways and recurring issues with garbage and debris - though these external matters do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. The most recent entries indicate ongoing concerns with street maintenance and parking compliance in the immediate vicinity of the property, particularly regarding blocked driveways and garbage management, though these are municipal issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 349 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
61th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 311 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

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 75.2%
Moderate concern 16.5%
Severe concern 8.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
