Initial analysis

The property at 2433-2435 Lake Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1941, currently owned by the Norman Hersch Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, including a major renovation in 2006 that updated the kitchen and two bathrooms with new electrical and plumbing systems, cabinets, countertops, and flooring, costing $35,000. That same year, electrical upgrades were completed, installing 8 lights, 4 switches, 14 receptacles, and 8 circuits. A crucial safety improvement was made in 2004 with the installation of a second egress stair in the lightwell on the west side of the building, costing $10,000. More recent maintenance has included the replacement of the house trap in 2011 and street space permits issued in 2011.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with historical records indicating reroofing work in 1996 and rotted stair member repairs in 1985. The property has experienced minimal recent issues affecting resident safety or comfort, with only one recorded fire alarm system complaint in March 2012 that was promptly corrected. The surrounding area has seen typical urban incidents including parking matters and temporary moving sign requests, with the most recent service request in 2019 related to street painting and a flooding incident that was resolved by the PUC Sewer Operations. The building's documented permit and maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and regulatory compliance by the ownership, with no recorded violations or persistent issues that would impact resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 2433-2435 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.
