Initial analysis

The Whelan Family Trust 2009 property at 223 Lisbon Street in the Excelsior neighborhood is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building that has undergone several significant improvements since 2004. The most recent work includes the installation of a direct-vent stove in June 2023 and a gas heater in December 2015. Between 2015-2016, there was substantial interior remodeling involving non-structural wall modifications, bathroom and laundry room updates on both ground and second floors, and electrical work including new lighting and smoke detector installations. The building received notable exterior improvements, including a complete re-roofing in 2014, and a solar panel installation (12 PV modules) that same year.

Significant structural and utility updates occurred in 2007-2009, including the expansion of the existing single-car garage to accommodate two vehicles with a studio above, and a gas line replacement from the meter to the main house. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, as evidenced by numerous completed permits across plumbing, electrical, and building categories. More recently, there have been several parking-related incidents recorded between 2024-2023, primarily involving violations of parking restrictions, with multiple citations issued. An environmental health service request was recorded in November 2024, and there was one instance of garbage and debris removal in September 2024. The property has also dealt with some street lighting issues, including a persistent light problem that was resolved in September 2024.

Risk rating

How 223 Lisbon 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
72th percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 94 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.4%
Moderate concern 18.2%
Severe concern 12.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
