Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 342 Lexington St in the Inner Mission, owned by Evan R. & Phillippa Marks, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone numerous improvements over the past two decades, with the most significant recent work being the complete replacement of the sewer lateral (35 feet) and house trap in 2020, along with multiple renovations to kitchens and bathrooms across both units. Recent maintenance includes window trim repairs in 2018, while significant earlier works involved a kitchen remodel in 2014 following a complaint investigation in 2010 regarding unauthorized renovations and subsequent correction of illegal wiring. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including an electrical sub-panel installation in 2018 and a complete reroofing in 1998.

The property has experienced ongoing issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued or attempted between 2023 and 2024. Additionally, there have been some concerns about street cleanliness in the vicinity, with several reports of waste needing attention between 2023 and 2024. While these external concerns don't directly impact the building's condition, they do reflect some neighborhood challenges. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and upgrading of essential systems, with permits indicating proper channels were followed for most recent improvements, suggesting responsible property management since the 2010 complaint incident.

Risk rating

How 342 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, 381 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.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 77.5%
Moderate concern 14.9%
Severe concern 7.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
