Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2301-2303 Lake Street, owned by the Kris Ishii Living Trust, is an approximately 75-year-old flats/duplex structure located in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, with the most recent major work being a $25,000 reroofing project completed in 2019. Other notable renovations include the installation of vinyl siding on the rear of the property in 2015, window replacements in 2005 and 1991 (totaling 22 windows), and interior remodels of the kitchen and bathroom in 2002. The property underwent a two-unit condo conversion, which was approved and closed, with records showing developers Wholey and Jack involved in this process.

In recent months, the property has generated multiple parking-related complaints, particularly between September and December 2024, with numerous reports of abandoned vehicles and illegal parking in the vicinity. Most of these complaints have been determined to have no merit or were resolved when vehicles were found to be properly parked, often involving a motor scooter that appears to belong to the residents. A single fire-related complaint from 2007 regarding weeds and grass was investigated and found to have no merit. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with no recorded safety violations or significant maintenance issues impacting resident experience.

Risk rating

How 2301-2303 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
94th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 40 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 permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.0%
Moderate concern 11.0%
Severe concern 2.9%
