Initial analysis

The four-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 125 Lyon Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Annette Perry, has a long history dating back to 1900. The building underwent significant structural improvements in 2016 with a completed soft story retrofit, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes a permitted $27,000 reroofing project in 2022, though there was an initial complaint about this work being done without proper permits, which is currently marked as active. The building has faced several maintenance and safety issues requiring attention over the years, including a series of violations in 2012 related to water damage, ceiling repairs, and lead paint concerns, all of which were abated by June 2012. Earlier violations from 2006 involved stair repairs and fire safety equipment, while in 2007 there were plumbing and electrical concerns in the bathroom.

Recent building inspections include a routine inspection in February 2023 that is currently marked as active. The property has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, including water damage issues in the kitchen ceiling (2012), bathroom problems (2007), and stair repairs (2006). The building's 2024 records show multiple 311 calls primarily related to park patrols and sanitation issues outside the building, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. Since 2020, the permit records show active maintenance and compliance efforts, including the proper installation of new roofing materials and the resolution of historic soft story retrofit obligations. The property has maintained its residential use classification and remains compliant with fundamental safety requirements, with the most recent significant building improvements focusing on structural integrity and weatherproofing.

Risk rating

How 125 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

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 343 are predicted to be safer.
