Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 250-252 Peabody Street in Visitacion Valley, owned by Frawly J & Sylvia A Lynch L, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1949. The property's maintenance history shows three related permits, with the most significant being issued in July 2004 for a $1,500 project to replace the garage door and frame, including removal of the existing door and associated woodwork. This garage renovation was subsequently renewed in February 2005, with two separate permits reflecting a minimal cost of $1 each for the renewal process.

Recent activity at the property has been limited, with only two documented external incidents in the past several years. In August 2023, there was a noise complaint reported through the 311 system, which was directed to SFPD for handling. Prior to that, in October 2022, there was an incident involving a vehicle blocking the driveway, which resulting in the issuance of a citation by parking enforcement for a white Toyota with license plate 6YAC864. This relatively low number of incidents and the nature of the complaints suggest typical urban residential challenges rather than any persistent property-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 250-252 Peabody 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.
