Initial analysis

The property at 262-264 Lexington Street in the Inner Mission is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Urmston Harmony, containing two units. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with major construction work taking place in 2020-2024, including the addition of a 476 sq ft ADU on the ground floor, installation of solar panels (4.05 kW and 4.455 kW systems with energy storage), and re-roofing work valued at $11,800. The property had substantial renovations in 2015, including kitchen remodels in both units, new gas lines, electrical circuits, and various other updates totaling approximately $39,500.

Recent maintenance and improvements have focused on modernization and sustainability, including the addition of solar power systems and an ADU. However, there has been ongoing concern with pedestrian safety and cleanliness in the immediate vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2024 regarding garbage and debris, including instances of human waste. The building has maintained compliance with safety regulations, including the 2020 installation of a residential sprinkler system for the new ADU. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2022 involving two tenants for $15,000 at the adjacent 266 Lexington Street address, though specific impacts on this property are unclear. The property has demonstrated a commitment to modernization through recent upgrades, including the installation of energy-efficient systems and addressing housing demand through ADU addition, while the exterior environment has required attention to sanitation issues as noted in the 311 response calls.

Risk rating

How 262-264 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, 24 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 91.3%
Moderate concern 6.1%
Severe concern 2.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
