Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 37-41 Lyon Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Disrud Family LLC, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work since its construction in 1904. Most notably, the property completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $60,000, achieving compliance with city earthquake safety requirements. The building underwent substantial unit renovations in 2011, including a complete kitchen remodel in Unit #41 with new cabinets, countertop, and flooring, along with electrical upgrades to 200amp service. Major infrastructure improvements were made in 2008 with the replacement of domestic water piping to copper and water heater upgrades. The building has maintained its safety systems, with records showing fire escape maintenance and security improvements, though several violations related to fire safety and security systems were noted in 2003 and 2010, all of which were subsequently abated. Recent property history shows recurring issues with parking violations on the sidewalk, with multiple citations issued throughout 2023, though these relate to public street enforcement rather than building maintenance or safety concerns.

The building's maintenance history includes earlier works such as reroofing projects in 1991 and 1999, and the addition of a sprinkler system in 1992. Street space permits have been issued regularly, most recently in 2019. While the property has experienced several routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, all identified violations have been resolved within reasonable timeframes. The building's current status shows no active violations or complaints, and all major systems appear to be regularly maintained and updated to meet current building codes and safety requirements. The completion of the soft-story retrofit program places this building among the seismic-resistant properties in San Francisco, demonstrating compliance with one of the city's most important safety mandates.

Risk rating

How 37-41 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
48th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 302 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.2%
Moderate concern 23.0%
Severe concern 21.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
