Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 34 Lapidge Street in Mission Dolores is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910, currently owned by the Chan Family Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, including a roof replacement and rear stairs deck repair in 2012, and earlier in 1990, work was completed on the front brick veneer and marble entry. A single fire-related complaint was logged in July 2012, though it was referred to another agency without a specified disposition.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly between 2021 and 2024, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks and at least one specific incident involving a black Acura with license plate 8UCH771 in January 2024. There was also a documented incident of offensive graffiti in October 2021, which was addressed by the SES Graffiti Crew, and a street cleaning issue involving waste in August 2021 that was resolved. More recently, in 2024, there have been several cases involving encampments near the property, with the most recent case in November 2024 being resolved through removal. While these maintenance and incident records show ongoing attention to the building's infrastructure, the neighborhood has experienced persistent external challenges related to parking and street conditions over the past several years.

Risk rating

How 34 Lapidge 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.
