Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 414 Lake Street, owned by Lee Management Tr, was constructed in 1917 and has undergone several significant updates over the years. Most recently, in January 2024, the building completed an upgrade of its fire alarm system to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating existing devices to be compatible with the new fire alarm control panel. The building experienced notable maintenance challenges in 2020, including multiple building violations filed in October 2020 related to fire safety, water damage, egress obstructions, and lead paint concerns. These violations were addressed and abated by February 2021. The property underwent significant renovation work in 2020-2021, including bathroom and kitchen remodels in Units 1 and 2, with proper permits obtained and completed work totaling $70,000. Prior improvements include window replacements in 2015 (18 windows in Units 2, 4, and 6) and addressing dry rot issues in 2004.

The building's maintenance history reveals both improvements and challenges, with particular attention needed during the 2020 period when multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing issues, water leaks, and lead paint concerns. Compliance efforts have been documented, with most recent violations abated and proper permits obtained for renovation work. The building has undergone systematic upgrades to meet current safety standards, as evidenced by the recent fire alarm system improvements and earlier electrical system updates. The property management has taken steps to address historical maintenance issues, though some building complaints from 2020 have been noted as not fully abated in the records.

Risk rating

How 414 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.
