Initial analysis

56 Lucy Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by Carmen Perez and built in 1946. The property underwent significant renovations between 2013 and 2017, including a major transformation of the first floor to create a second dwelling unit, kitchen and bathroom remodels in both units, and the installation of solar tubes and a skylight. The building experienced serious safety concerns in 2012 when a structure fire rendered it temporarily unsafe, leading to abatement proceedings that were resolved by February 2015. Since then, substantial infrastructure improvements have been completed, including a sewer replacement (2015), rewiring of the residence (2013), and furnace installation in the garage (2014). Multiple bathroom and kitchen installations were carried out through various permits, totaling significant investment in building improvements.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, with records of multiple roofing projects (1989, 1998), complete rewiring (2013), and extensive plumbing work including three bathrooms, two kitchens, and laundry facilities for each unit (2014). Recent maintenance issues have been relatively minor, with the most recent record being a sewage backup incident in December 2021. The building's regulatory compliance appears to be current, with no active violations or complaints since the 2012 fire incident, and a recent planning record shows no violations regarding street trees. The extensive renovation history and recent maintenance record suggest ongoing investment in the property's upkeep and improvements.

Risk rating

How 56 Lucy 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, 31 are predicted to be safer.
