Initial analysis

The property at 1633-1635 Lincoln Way is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Lincoln Way Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few years, with the most recent work completed in 2024 including a kitchen remodel and associated plumbing and electrical updates costing $16,000. In 2017, the property received updated fiberglass windows and new gas fireplace installations, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and upgrades to modernize the building. Historical records show earlier improvements including a 1999 structural repair, a 2002 kitchen remodel, and various infrastructure upgrades such as electrical grounding improvements in 2004.

The property has experienced various maintenance issues that have required attention, most notably dry rot repairs to the stairs completed in 2018. Recent 311 calls for the property have primarily concerned external issues such as pavement defects reported in November 2023 (still open as of October 2023), and there have been several reports of street cleaning and encampment-related issues in the surrounding area during 2024. While these external factors don't directly impact the building's condition, they do provide context about the property's immediate environment. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of both interior and exterior components, with particular attention to ensuring modern safety and comfort features through systematic improvements to plumbing, electrical, and structural elements over time.

Risk rating

How 1633-1635 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
79th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 314 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

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 11.3%
Severe concern 2.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
