Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 221-223 Lexington Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Valerie Lauren Garcia, was constructed in 1990 following significant horizontal and vertical additions completed in 1988. The building's permit history shows several important modifications during construction, including the installation of a new fire protection system and adjustments to window placements, all of which were completed successfully.

The property experienced notable maintenance issues in late 2003, when multiple violations were recorded between November and December, including problems with fire safety equipment (fire escape maintenance and fire extinguisher tagging), interior surface conditions (water damage, lead paint concerns, and ceiling maintenance), plumbing issues, and safety-related concerns such as egress obstructions and gas meter requirements. These violations, however, were all resolved by January 2004. A more recent complaint from August 2008 regarding a routine housing inspection was documented but listed as not active. In the past year, there have been several 311 calls related to the building's vicinity, including reports of excessive noise (October 2024) and multiple instances of human or animal waste that were resolved in 2023-2024, as well as several cases of defaced parking signs reported in late 2024, though most of these recent issues appear to be external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 221-223 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, 690 are predicted to be safer.
