Initial analysis

The property at 76-78 Leland Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space, built in 1936 and currently owned by the Lan Foon Mok Living Trust. The building has undergone several commercial tenant improvements over the years, with the most recent significant changes related to "Metro by T-Mobile" in 2020-2021, including awning installations and signage modifications. Historical records show earlier commercial alterations including storefront replacement in 1992, vertical feature modifications, and a notable incident in 1991 when the front wall required repairs due to vehicle damage. The property has experienced recurrent maintenance issues in 2024, particularly involving the exterior environment, with multiple reports of garbage and debris, graffiti, and two instances of missing side sewer vent covers, though most of these issues have been resolved through municipal intervention. A 2024 planning record indicates the illegal conversion of a commercial space to a sewing factory was abated. The building's recent history shows limited internal structural modifications, with most issues relating to external maintenance and tenancy matters. A separate tenant buyout record from 2018 indicates an unrelated property transaction at 80 Raymond Avenue for $25,000 involving one tenant.

Risk rating

How 76-78 Leland Ave'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.
