Initial analysis

The property at 353-355 Lexington Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by Isabelle Rodriguez. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent major project being a substantial reroofing completed in 2022 at a cost of $64,500. Previous work includes a series of roofing projects in 2005 and 1991, and a notable 2002 renovation involving the legalization of an existing kitchen, rear yard excavation, and garage extension work valued at $190,000. This construction activity was later subject to a building violation in 2007 regarding unpermitted remodeling of two bathrooms and two kitchens, though this violation was abated within weeks.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues that warrant attention. In 2022, there was a complaint about missing rear stairs, which was quickly addressed. The property has a history of various infrastructural improvements, including electrical upgrades completed in 2004 that involved installing new switches, receptacles, lights, and circuits in bathrooms and kitchens. Recent utility service incidents include a sewage backup issue in early 2022 that required field work by the Public Utilities Commission. The building's history also shows multiple 311 calls related to street cleaning and waste removal in the vicinity, as well as two noise complaints in 2018. A fire complaint was logged in April 2022 and referred to the Department of Building Inspection.

Risk rating

How 353-355 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, 286 are predicted to be safer.

Violations, complaints, fire incidents, permits, and buyouts — most recent records in order.

2025
Planning Record Dec 16
The property currently contains one Residential Unit and one Unauthorized Dwelling Unit (UDU) (PC 317(b)(13)). Attached are the findings and documentation confirming that the property was built as a SFD, and while attempts were made to legalize a second dwelling that property, the permits were never finaled for this second dwelling, and thus it remains unauthorized. We propose to legalize and relocate the UDU as a State Program Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). The plans for this proposal are attached.
