Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2223 Lake Street, owned by Polaris Prime Holding LLC, was constructed in 1947 and has undergone several maintenance updates over the years, with the most recent significant work being a completed $18,900 re-roofing project in December 2015. The building has a history of regular housing inspections, with documented routine inspections in 2001 and 2003, and notably a fire complaint regarding blocked exits filed in 2006 that was not resolved until July 2015 when it was referred to another agency. A broken kitchen window pane was reported and addressed in 1997.

In 2023-2024, there have been multiple incidents reported through 311 calls, primarily related to parking enforcement issues including vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks. There were also calls regarding abandoned vehicles and general street cleaning needs. The most recent issues have been primarily external to the building itself, focusing on parking violations and street maintenance rather than building-specific concerns. While the building has had its share of routine inspections and maintenance requirements over the years, there are currently no active building complaints on record.

Risk rating

How 2223 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

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 69.6%
Moderate concern 21.9%
Severe concern 8.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
