Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 115-117 Lilac Street, owned by Maria Elena Wiley, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The property has a documented history of plumbing and maintenance issues, with the most recent building complaint from September 2023 reporting a hole in the wall. A significant plumbing crisis occurred in November 2007 when a defective sewer caused health concerns, though this was resolved within a week, coinciding with a permit for sewer line replacement. The building experienced multiple utility-related problems in 1999-2000, including lack of heat, gas, and hot water, along with various maintenance violations such as holes in walls and an inoperative stove, most of which were subsequently resolved.

Recent records from 2023-2025 show ongoing concerns with the property's external environment, including multiple reports of human waste/urine on the street and sidewalk between late 2024 and early 2025, though these are not direct building violations. The property has also been the subject of several parking-related incidents, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking and parking violations. While many historical issues have been addressed through proper channels, the recent concentration of waste removal calls in the vicinity suggests ongoing challenges with the building's immediate surroundings, though these may be more related to neighborhood conditions than the building itself. The most recent building-related issue (the wall hole) from 2023 remains notably unaddressed in the records, representing the building's only current maintenance complaint on file.

Risk rating

How 115-117 Lilac 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

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1499 are predicted to be safer.
