Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 2020-2022 Lake Street in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1921 and currently owned by the Genie Gee Revocable Trust. The property's maintenance history shows several significant improvements: in 1984, there was substantial work done including stucco removal, dry rot repairs, and wood siding replacement; in 1992, a reroofing project was undertaken; and in 2015, street space modifications were permitted. Of particular note is a tenant buyout that occurred in May 2019 for $12,500, involving one tenant at the 2020 Lake Street unit.

The building has experienced recurrent issues with tree root damage to the sidewalk, with four separate reports filed between October 2022 and November 2024, three of which remain open as of the latest data. The property has also been the subject of multiple parking-related complaints over the past two years, including driveway blockages and illegal parking incidents, with vehicles being cited or addressed by parking enforcement. While these parking violations are problematic, they primarily affect the street area rather than the building itself. A single fire incident was recorded, though it was due to a malfunctioning alarm system with no civilian injuries reported. The building's age and repair history suggest regular maintenance has been performed, though the ongoing tree root issue indicates a persistent infrastructure challenge in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 2020-2022 Lake 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
63th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 244 are predicted to be safer.
