Initial analysis

The 4-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building at 155 Eureka Street, owned by Lmp 2012 Irrevocable Trust, was constructed in 1915 and has undergone substantial recent renovations and improvements. Most notably, the property is currently undergoing a comprehensive $80,000 renovation of Unit #4, including updates to the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room, with associated plumbing work for a shower pan installation and new kitchen fixtures. Between 2020 and 2024, multiple units have received similar comprehensive updates, including Unit #3 (2021), Units #1 & #5 (2020), and Unit #2 (2021), with improvements generally including kitchen and bathroom renovations, new appliances, and electrical upgrades. The building has also successfully completed its soft-story retrofit requirements, attaining a Certificate of Final Completion.

Historically, the property has experienced several significant issues related to unauthorized construction and safety concerns. Between 2015-2016, there were multiple complaints regarding an allegedly unpermitted in-law unit construction in the rear yard, including concerns about illegal gas line connections and electrical work. These issues were eventually resolved, and in 2016 the proper permits were obtained to legalize the accessory dwelling unit. The building's fire safety systems have been maintained and upgraded, with a complete fire alarm system replacement and fire sprinkler installation in 2016, though there were some fire safety violations in 2001-2002 that were promptly addressed. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved exterior concerns, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding encampments and debris around the property, though these are external to the building itself and not directly related to its condition or management.

Risk rating

How 155 Eureka 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 946 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.7%
Moderate concern 26.4%
Severe concern 29.0%
