Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 120-122 Lake Street, owned by Robert E Kosnik and Ali Sloga, was constructed in 1922 and has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2012-2013, the building underwent extensive remodeling including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system, electrical upgrades with new 200-amp service and sub-panels, and plumbing improvements including multiple bathroom installations and a new kitchen. These improvements were accompanied by structural work including new foundation, framing, and moment frames. During the renovation period, there were two construction-related complaints regarding dust and debris in 2012-2013, though these are no longer active.

More recent building history shows recurring issues with dog barking noise in late 2023, with two separate 311 calls made in December 2023 and January 2024. The property has experienced various maintenance and environmental issues over the years, including tree root damage to sidewalks (resolved in 2012), a sewage backup incident in 2011, and a couple of fire-related incidents (smoke detector activation and electrical wiring issue, though no civilian injuries were reported in either case). Temporary parking requests for moving purposes were made and properly processed between 2012-2018, and there was one hazardous materials incident involving glass noted and resolved in 2020.

Risk rating

How 120-122 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
44th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 370 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.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.3%
Moderate concern 14.8%
Severe concern 4.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
