Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1344-1346 Lake Street, owned by the Tong Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1941 in the Lake/Presidio neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent work occurring in 2017 when dry rot repairs were completed on the rim board and front bay window. Historical records show multiple window replacements between 1992 and 2003, kitchen and bathroom remodels in 1985-1986, and electrical system upgrades including an underground conversion completed in 2003. The building's roofing was replaced in 2003, representing a major infrastructure update.

The property has experienced various municipal service incidents in recent years, though none directly related to the building's structural integrity or safety. These include environmental maintenance issues such as a damaged tree reported in July 2024 (currently open), an overflowing city garbage can in October 2022, and several street maintenance matters in 2022 including waste removal and sign repairs. Previous tree-related concerns were noted in April 2022, where property damage was reported and subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and timely addressing of structural issues, with no recorded building code violations or planning complaints. The property remains under the ownership of the Tong Family Trust, as evidenced by consistent documentation throughout the building's permit history.

Risk rating

How 1344-1346 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.
