Initial analysis

The property at 130-132 Lawton Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1948 and currently owned by the Jawad & Violet Jaber Trust. The building's maintenance history shows recurring attention to structural issues, most notably with dry rot, with repairs documented in 1984 and 2009, including significant work on the front of the building in 2009 costing $2,000. The property has undergone proper addressing procedures, with #132 being designated as the second legal address for the second dwelling unit in 2009.

Recent infrastructure challenges have affected the building's surroundings, particularly in 2022-2023, with multiple reports of sewage backup incidents (noted in January and February 2023) and persistent pavement defects, with documented complaints about street conditions in January 2022 continuing through July 2023. The street space and sidewalk were addressed in 2010 through an official permit. The building has also experienced minor issues such as graffiti (2022) and abandoned items (2022), though these were resolved relatively quickly. While the property appears to have undergone necessary structural repairs in the past, the recent pattern of sewage system issues and ongoing pavement concerns in the vicinity may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 130-132 Lawton 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.
