Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 194 Lippard Ave in Glen Park, owned by Karen H Peteros, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1910. The most substantial recent work includes a 2016 plumbing upgrade involving the replacement of a section of the 4-inch clay building drain. Between 1994 and 1997, the property underwent various improvements, including facade replacement with plywood, foundation work, water damage repairs, and interior renovations such as insulation and sheetrock installation. The building had three fire complaints in September 2017 related to blocked exits and hoarding, which were resolved within two weeks, though one was initially marked as "No Access To Building."

Recent activity (2023-2024) around the property has primarily involved municipal service calls, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles, some of which required towing due to expired registration. There are currently two open issues: a water main concern reported in June 2024 and a tree root-related sidewalk lifting issue reported in April 2024. Historical records show periodic maintenance work including wood flooring replacement on the front porch in 1995, and multiple permit renewals suggest ongoing attention to building maintenance. The building's systems and structure have received regular attention over the years, though the presence of multiple abandoned vehicle reports in recent years and two open maintenance issues require monitoring.

Risk rating

How 194 Lippard 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 207 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.1%
Moderate concern 10.4%
Severe concern 6.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
