Initial analysis

The 250 Point Lobos Avenue property is a 5-story, 20-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by the Dayan Family Revocable Trust. The building has undergone significant renovation work in recent years, with several units receiving substantial updates between 2016-2024, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 301, 302, and 401. However, there are notable safety concerns that require attention, including an active fire violation from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, and a recent fire safety upgrade project underway as of March 2024 involving replacement of the fire alarm system and installation of horns in sleeping areas, for which an $80,000 permit was issued. The building's history reveals recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding water infiltration problems documented in 2015-2016, when multiple violations were recorded related to interior surfaces, lead paint concerns, and building envelope issues, though these were officially abated in September 2017.

Recent activity at the property has raised additional concerns about management practices and maintenance standards. There have been multiple complaints and inspections regarding blocked exits and combustible materials in recent years, with the most recent fire complaint in 2024 being corrected. The building has experienced several infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by 311 calls in late 2024 regarding sewage back-up issues and construction debris. Multiple renovation projects have been undertaken during the property's recent history, including unit conversions and system upgrades, though some work has generated complaints about unpermitted modifications and construction practices. The building's management has typically responded to violations and complaints, with most issues being resolved or closed through corrective actions, though an active sleeping area violation from late 2023 remains open as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 250 Point Lobos Ave'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
1th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 1030 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.

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.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 28.3%
Moderate concern 59.2%
Severe concern 12.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
