Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1219 Lane Street in Bayview, owned by Zhao Eileen, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1911. The property is currently undergoing electrical system upgrades, with an active permit issued in February 2024 for replacing the main 100-amp dual meter panel, though there was an earlier expired building permit from 1983 on record. The building and its surroundings have experienced a notable pattern of maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly regarding waste management, with multiple incidents of garbage and debris requiring municipal intervention between September and December 2024. During this period, there were at least eight documented cases of waste issues, including loose garbage, debris, and yard waste, though most were resolved through municipal action. The property is also situated in an area where parking violations have been common, with three incidents of sidewalk parking reported in August, September, and December 2024, though enforcement officers were unable to validate the violations in two of these cases. Additionally, there were instances of graffiti reported in December 2024, affecting both a fire hydrant and a transit advertisement, though these were categorized as non-offensive.

Risk rating

How 1219 Lane 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
