Initial analysis

The property at 46-50 Lapidge Street is a three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Karen Saha and Pronay Saha. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various compliance issues over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2018-2019, there were concerns about illegal dwelling units and unauthorized short-term rentals, with investigations revealing possible unpermitted living spaces and high-volume short-term rental activity via Airbnb, though these violations were subsequently resolved and abated. The building experienced maintenance and safety concerns in 2011, including issues with weatherproofing, stairs, fire safety systems, and potential lead paint hazards, all of which were abated by April 2012.

Recent improvements to the property include a kitchen sink removal in 2019 and various electrical and plumbing work completed in the same year. The building's history shows significant attention to safety systems, with multiple permits for stair repairs, reroofing, and electrical work between 2004 and 2019. The property has been subject to regular maintenance and inspection requirements, including final inspections for various permits, though some earlier permits from 2011 expired without final completion. Recent municipal service calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as sidewalk cleaning and parking violations, with no recent building-specific complaints or violations noted in the past few years.

Risk rating

How 46-50 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.

Neighborhood percentile
68th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 256 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 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 46.7%
Moderate concern 21.0%
Severe concern 32.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
