Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1009-1011 Lake Street, owned by Yerbic Martin, has undergone several significant repairs and improvements since its construction in 1909. Most notably, in 2018, major work was completed including foundation replacement at the rear ground level unit and window replacements, though this work was initially the subject of an unpermitted construction complaint that was resolved within a month. In 2017, the property underwent substantial renovations including concrete patio repairs, garage door replacement, siding repairs, and interior plaster work, all properly permitted and completed. The building has a history of addressing structural safety concerns, with earlier work including deck and stair repairs in 2008 following a violation notice regarding unsafe stairs, which was successfully resolved. Several plumbing issues were documented in 2015-2016, including two sewage backup incidents involving a 4-inch vent. The property has also had routine housing inspections in 2000 and 2008, and while there were multiple instances of unpermitted work reported through building complaints, these issues were generally addressed through subsequent permit applications and corrections. Recent maintenance issues appear to have been limited to external matters, with a temporary sign request in 2021 and some animal control service requests in 2022.

Risk rating

How 1009-1011 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
36th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 422 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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 71.8%
Moderate concern 21.6%
Severe concern 6.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
