Initial analysis

The property at 1743-1747 Lake Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Lake -- The Presidio neighborhood, owned by Landa Jew Lvg Tr and constructed in 1908. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, including three roofing projects in 1991, 2009 (cost $8,000), and most recently in 2024, showing consistent maintenance of this critical building component. Other notable improvements include an upper bathroom remodel in 2002 ($5,000), a lower flat kitchen remodel in 1984, and a substantial electrical upgrade in 2003 with an underground service conversion to an existing 200-amp system with three meters.

The building has experienced two concerning incidents in recent years, with a complaint filed in July 2019 regarding potentially asbestos-wrapped heater piping in the hallway closet, and an illegal unit complaint in February 2020, though both complaints are currently listed as "Not Active." More recent issues regarding external infrastructure include multiple 311 calls in 2024 relating to street lighting problems and pavement defects. Most notably, there are three open cases from 2024 that require attention: a pavement defect (opened July 30, 2024), a structural maintenance issue related to athletic fields (opened July 17, 2024), and an abandoned vehicle case (opened November 11, 2024). The property has also experienced some neighborhood maintenance challenges in 2024, as evidenced by multiple reports of garbage and debris on the street and sidewalk, including boxed garbage, a mattress, and defaced parking signs, all of which have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 1743-1747 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
