Initial analysis

The two-story, three-unit apartment building at 1701 Lane Street in Bayview, owned by Tariq Choudhery and constructed in 1912, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are currently multiple active complaints from early 2024 regarding peeling paint on the exterior, concerns about an unpermitted concrete pad installation in the rear yard, and allegations of unauthorized construction activities affecting the common garden area. In late 2023, there were issues with a broken window that was subsequently resolved by February 2024. The building has a history of addressing various maintenance and compliance matters, including a significant cluster of violations in 2001 related to electrical systems, smoke detectors, window repairs, and fire safety, all of which were abated by June 2001. More recent maintenance work includes repairs to rotted handrails and deck issues in 2017, as well as window retrofitting projects in 2008. The property has faced several infrastructure challenges in early 2025, including sidewalk defects, overgrown trees affecting street lighting, and garbage debris issues. While past concerns about safety features such as handrails and smoke detectors have been addressed, the building continues to experience periodic maintenance issues requiring attention. The adjacent property at 1599 Revere Avenue has received approvals for grocery store use (Saabi's Groceries), which has been noted in planning records as part of the building's context.

Risk rating

How 1701 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.
