Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 2415 Lincoln Way in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Hon Darryl, has undergone several significant renovations since 2016. Recent improvements include a $12,000 re-roofing project completed in 2020 and the replacement of aluminum windows with all-wood windows on the front and side facades in 2017, which created some controversy due to the replacement's initial unpermitted status. Between 2016-2017, substantial renovations were carried out in Units 1 and 2, including bathroom and kitchen remodels, electrical rewiring, and plumbing updates totaling over $80,000. The building has a history of addressing safety concerns, with several violations from 2002 related to fire safety and building code compliance being resolved within one month. While the building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, there have been some compliance issues, including a 2016 complaint about work being done without proper permits and a 2017 violation regarding unauthorized window replacements. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as parking, street maintenance, and rent board inquiries, with no major building-specific complaints filed in the past few years, suggesting improved compliance and maintenance standards.

The building's documented history includes routine inspections in 1999 and 2002, with various violations being promptly addressed, including issues with fire escape ladders, fire extinguishers, and handrails. A complaint in 2005 regarding unpermitted carport expansion was quickly resolved. The property's maintenance record shows regular updating of building systems and modernization efforts, including furnace installation and insulation improvements, with most recent permits being properly obtained and completed. The building's age (built in 1914) and complex history of renovations and repairs reflect ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the property, though some past compliance issues indicate areas where building management has needed to address regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 2415 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.

Neighborhood percentile
30th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 570 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 age

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

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 56.7%
Moderate concern 27.3%
Severe concern 16.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
