Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 700-702 Lisbon Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Serena L Y & David C H Li R, has a documented history dating back to 1984. The two-story structure, built in 1926, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decades, including multiple instances of wood damage and infestations. The most notable historical events include fire damage repairs in 1998 costing $18,500, termite damage repairs in 1993, and two instances of dry rot repair in 2004, one of which specifically addressed issues under a front window. The building underwent a conversion in 1984 to transform an unconfirmed ground floor store unit into residential space, and had window replacements in 2004.

In recent years, from October 2024 to January 2025, there has been a pattern of sidewalk parking violations and garbage-related issues in the vicinity of the property, with eight reports of abandoned garbage and debris and six reports of parking violations, some resulting in citations, though others couldn't be validated. These recent issues, primarily involving exterior maintenance and street-level concerns, appear to be more frequent than the building's historical interior maintenance challenges. Earlier fire complaints regarding weeds and grass in 2008 and 2012 were addressed promptly, with the 2012 issue being corrected on the same day of the complaint. There are no current open building permits or unresolved maintenance issues on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 700-702 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
51th percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 165 are predicted to be safer.
