Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 26 Lucky Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908, currently owned by Michael D. Williams. The building's documented history shows two significant maintenance issues in the early 1990s, including the removal of an unsafe gas heater from the living room in 1992 and an expired permit related to fire damage requiring sheetrock, cabinet, and plumbing fixture replacements in 1991. While these are the only recorded building permits on file, they suggest that the property experienced some safety and repair challenges two decades ago.

The property's external environment has been the subject of numerous municipal service calls over the past 14 years, primarily related to street cleaning and parking enforcement issues. From 2019 to 2020, there were multiple incidents involving parking violations, including vehicles parked on sidewalks and one abandoned delivery truck, though these incidents were resolved through official intervention. Earlier records from 2009 through 2015 show recurring general cleaning needs in the vicinity, with the Department of Public Works handling reports of loose garbage. While these external issues have been consistently addressed by city services, they primarily reflect neighborhood maintenance and enforcement matters rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 26 Lucky 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.
