Initial analysis

The 114-116 Lake Street property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by the Veraja Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most notable recent work being the replacement of French casement window sashes and a rear French door set in 2013, a project valued at $8,000 that improved the building's energy efficiency. Other completed maintenance includes a garage door and opener replacement in 2005 (which appears to have been subsequently modified in 2008 through an electrical permit), sewer line repairs in 2008, and reroofing work completed in 2000.

The property has experienced various maintenance and quality-of-life issues in the surrounding area, particularly in recent years, as evidenced by three open noise complaints from November 2024. Previous incidents include multiple tree health concerns in 2016 and 2018 (both of which were resolved), and a series of street maintenance issues including garbage removal in 2020. There was one documented fire-related incident involving a smoke scare, though no civilian injuries were reported. The building's infrastructure maintenance appears to have been regularly addressed, with records showing attention to both sewer and catch basin maintenance. While the property has maintained its basic structural integrity and received necessary upgrades, the recent noise complaints suggest ongoing challenges with residential comfort in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 114-116 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, 363 are predicted to be safer.
