Initial analysis

The property at 4650-4652 California Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Lupe Sanchez 2019 Revocable Trust. The building's history reveals several significant maintenance and compliance issues, most notably a lead paint hazard identified in 2022 that required remediation by December 2022. The property has experienced ongoing parking-related compliance issues, with multiple permits and violations recorded between 2014-2015 regarding unauthorized modifications to the parking area, including an attempt to eliminate a third garage space. These violations resulted in several building permits being issued or suspended, with the final resolution occurring in 2018. Building maintenance history shows a furnace replacement in 2018 and a complete re-roofing project from 1989.

Recent external conditions around the property have generated multiple 311 calls, particularly through 2023-2024, primarily relating to sidewalk cleaning and debris removal. The building has maintained basic safety requirements, with no reported fire incidents or civilian injuries, and no active complaints regarding critical systems or structural integrity. While the property has faced periodic maintenance challenges and compliance issues over the years, most recent violations have been addressed, with records showing approximately three months' elapsed between complaint filing and resolution for the 2022 lead hazard case. The building's location in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood appears to be generally stable, with recent complaints primarily related to external conditions rather than internal building systems or structural concerns.

Risk rating

How 4650-4652 California 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.
