Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 226 San Carlos Street in the Inner Mission, owned by the Wayne Lenoue Trust, was constructed in 1928 and contains three units. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, with comprehensive work completed in 1990 including reroofing, kitchen remodeling, installation of an air-tight meter cabinet, and repair of partition wall damage. Noteworthy safety upgrades from that period included the replacement of exterior rear stairs and the installation of fire extinguishers. More recent building work includes plywood installation in the garage areas in 1997, though there was an expired permit from 1994 for similar work. The property has undergone regular safety inspections, with the most recent routine inspection recorded in 2015.

The building has experienced three notable complaints in the past that warrant mention: an unpermitted renovation complaint in 2009 regarding window replacements and sidewalk work, and two routine safety inspections in 2003 and 2015. Recent months have seen multiple 311 calls related to public health and urban maintenance issues in the vicinity of the building, with most calls between October 2023 and January 2024 concerning sidewalk cleaning needs, including reports of human waste, general garbage, and debris. There is currently an open case from September 2024 regarding an overgrown tree near communication lines. Additionally, there have been two recent complaints in October 2023 regarding vehicles parking on the sidewalk, though enforcement officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles when responding to the calls.

Risk rating

How 226 San Carlos 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, 833 are predicted to be safer.
