Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 33-37 Lexington Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Richard A. Rhodes, was built in 1909 and has undergone significant improvements over the past several years. Most recently, in early 2021, major renovations were completed including bathroom remodeling and the addition of washer/dryer hookups, with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $14,000. Prior improvements include a complete bathroom remodel with washer/dryer installation in 2017, reroofing work in 2019 ($16,850), and substantial safety upgrades in 2015-2016 including the installation of 16 new fire sprinklers throughout the ground floor and new underground piping. The building's address was corrected and officially documented in 2017, transitioning from 35-37 to 33 Lexington Street, with all related administrative matters completed.

Historical records show a significant building complaint from 2006 regarding the rear attachment being unsafe with falling parts, roof issues, and paint storage concerns, though this complaint was abated within a month. The building has maintained compliance since then, with no active violations on record. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning issues outside the building, including multiple reports of loose garbage, though all these cases were resolved through city services. There are no currently pending building issues or code violations on the property, and all recent permits have been properly completed or documented.

Risk rating

How 33-37 Lexington 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 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 167 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 70.2%
Moderate concern 22.8%
Severe concern 7.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
