Initial analysis

The property at 2-42 George Court in Bayview, owned by La Salle Preservation LP, is a 94-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1978. Recent maintenance patterns show significant roofing work in late 2024, with multiple permits issued for re-roofing buildings #2 and #4 at costs ranging from $39,712 to $127,410. The building has undergone substantial infrastructure improvements, including multiple water heater installations, plumbing fixture replacements, and electrical upgrades between 2019 and 2024. However, the property is currently facing several serious maintenance issues, with several active complaints filed in December 2024 regarding heating problems, kitchen appliances, and potential asbestos concerns. Earlier complaints from 2024 also documented leaks, mold, and deteriorating building conditions, though some were marked as not active. The building has a history of building code violations from 2001, primarily related to interior surfaces and plumbing/electrical issues, which were abated by 2003. While the property has completed required soft-story seismic retrofitting work, recent maintenance delays and the concentration of active complaints suggest ongoing challenges with property management responsiveness.

The building's maintenance record shows periodic major systems upgrades, including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing improvements. Notable historical issues include fire safety violations in 2007-2008 related to exits, fire escapes, and extinguishers, though these were resolved. More recent maintenance activities have included comprehensive electrical work (replacing lights, switches, and appliances) and plumbing upgrades, indicating investment in building systems. However, the recurring nature of recent complaints and reported delays in addressing basic maintenance issues suggest potential concerns with current management practices, particularly regarding timely repairs and building upkeep.

Risk rating

How 2-42 George Ct'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.
