Initial analysis

The property at 430 Lake St, located in the Lake --The Presidio neighborhood, is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Miguel E. Wong and Angelo R. Wong. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent being a complete reroofing project in September 2023 costing $22,600. Notably, the building has received attention to its seismic safety, with a voluntary soft-story seismic retrofit initiated in 2022 ($30,000) and additional footing replacements permitted in 2023 ($35,000). Other structural maintenance includes back stairs repairs in 2015 and house trap replacements in both 2013 and 2011, indicating ongoing attention to building maintenance systems.

The building's history includes routine inspections and some violations, particularly in 2003 when issues regarding smoke detectors, emergency exits, wood stairs, and other concerns were documented but subsequently abated by December 2003. A 2011 inspection noted damaged ceilings that were addressed by October 2011. The property has experienced various parking and street maintenance issues typical of urban environments, with multiple reports of illegal postings, abandoned vehicles, and driveway blockages between 2020-2024, though these external issues have mostly been resolved through proper channels. Recent service calls primarily relate to street and parking matters, rather than building-specific concerns, suggesting improved maintenance of the building itself over the past decade.

Risk rating

How 430 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

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 297 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.

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.9%
Moderate concern 9.6%
Severe concern 8.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
