Initial analysis

The duplex at 24-26 Elgin Park, located in Mission Dolores, is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Heather M. Lowe. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years, including a substantial $17,500 reroofing project completed in 2018 and termite repairs completed in 1999. Electrical system improvements were made in 2009, including the installation of lighting, receptacles, and circuit work on the first floor, along with a panel board installation, though these permits have since expired.

The property has experienced various safety and maintenance issues, with the most pressing concerns being addressed promptly. In 2007, there was a fire hazard complaint regarding an exposed and uninsulated heating duct between the two units, which was resolved within two weeks. Additional historical complaints include a 2006 issue with common area circuitry and a 2005 mold complaint, both of which were abated. More recent issues have primarily involved external matters such as illegal parking, sidewalk maintenance, and graffiti, including multiple parking violations in 2020 through 2022 and reports of garbage cleaning needs in 2018-2020. While these external issues are more related to public space management than building condition, they may impact resident convenience. The most recent documented interaction was a 2024 service request, though the details were insufficient for action.

Risk rating

How 24-26 Elgin Park'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
72th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 224 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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 60.5%
Moderate concern 9.4%
Severe concern 30.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
