Initial analysis

The property at 2 Latona Street in Bayview is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Lin Min and Wang June. The building underwent significant modifications between 2004-2006, including the controversial addition of a second unit converted from garage space, which led to multiple building violations for unauthorized construction and unpermitted fence installations. These violations were ultimately resolved by June 2008, with the building being brought into compliance through various permits totaling over $164,000. Recent improvements include a complete roof replacement in 2016 ($8,500), kitchen and bathroom renovations in 2015 ($30,000), and various plumbing and electrical upgrades.

Recent maintenance issues have emerged, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 primarily regarding garbage and debris cleanup (including an open paint peeling complaint in August 2024), suggesting potential concerns about ongoing property maintenance. The building's permit history shows regular upkeep, including roofing work in 2010 and siding repairs in 2015. A 2015 complaint about possible work beyond permitted scope was filed but marked as not active. The most recent construction work on record was the 2016 reroofing project, though several permits for interior improvements and repairs were either cancelled or expired during the renovation process. While the building has a history of compliance issues, particularly regarding the second unit conversion, these appear to have been addressed over time through proper permitting and inspections.

Risk rating

How 2 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
