Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 50-52 Latona Street in Bayview, owned by Cross Laron & Doretha, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1936. The property's documented history shows several infrastructure improvements, most notably an electrical upgrade in 2017 when a new 200-amp service panel was installed along with lighting and outlet fixtures. The building also received a sidewalk permit in October 2008, though the cost was nominal at $1.00.

Recent activity from late 2024 through early 2025 indicates ongoing maintenance and safety issues affecting the property's immediate environment. There have been multiple enforcement actions related to illegal parking, including three citations issued for sidewalk parking in December 2024 alone. The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, with nine reports of abandoned items including furniture, garbage, and electronics between September-November 2024. A sidewalk maintenance issue was reported in September 2024 regarding a missing side sewer vent cover, though inspectors reported no defects were found upon investigation. The frequency and nature of these recent service calls suggest ongoing challenges with both parking management and street sanitation in the immediate vicinity of the building.

Risk rating

How 50-52 Latona 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 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 42 are predicted to be safer.
