Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 4515 Lincoln Way, owned by the Funai Family Trust, was constructed in 1985 and features two stories. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects, including a 2003 repair of dry rot damage on the south side of the cottage and an underground service electrical upgrade to a 150A, 2-meter system completed in the same year. A more serious issue arose in 2004 when a sewage overflow was reported and addressed within three weeks.

In May 2002, the building underwent a routine housing inspection that revealed multiple safety and maintenance violations, including issues with fire safety (missing fire extinguishers and egress obstructions), electrical outlet covers, security features (missing 135-degree viewers and unit identification numbers), and various other compliance matters. These violations were officially abated by July 2002. The building's documented history shows primarily maintenance-related work, with no recorded fire incidents involving civilian injuries and no active building violations as of now. Recent 311 calls in the area have mostly been routine municipal matters such as abandoned vehicles, encampment reports, and minor street maintenance issues, which are typical for urban neighborhoods.

Risk rating

How 4515 Lincoln Way'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.
