Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 9 Imperial Alley in Cow Hollow, owned by Stookey Family Survivors Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some challenges since its construction in 1906. Most notably, the property has received substantial window upgrades, with the most recent work in 2020 involving the replacement of 10 front windows with energy-efficient Marvin windows, following previous work in 2019 that replaced 8 rear windows and 2 doors. The building has experienced maintenance issues, including dry rot repairs in 2019 affecting approximately 800 square feet of rear siding and framing. Infrastructure improvements have included the replacement of the furnace, water heater, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades between 2018-2020, such as a new gas line installation for a fireplace and electrical service upgrade to 200 amps.

The building's history includes two notable violations from 2008-2009 related to exterior peeling paint (potentially involving lead paint concerns) and unpermitted interior remodeling work, though both issues were subsequently resolved by 2012. In recent years, there have been some recurring maintenance issues reported through 311 calls, particularly regarding street cleaning and waste removal outside the building, with the most recent concerns being excessive noise complaints in 2024. The property has experienced two alarm-related incidents (both false alarms) that resulted in no injuries or fires. Recent building improvements have primarily focused on window replacements, structural maintenance, and upgrading essential systems, with the most significant works being substantially completed by 2020. The current building status shows no active violations or complaints, though recent noise issues and cleaning complaints indicate ongoing property maintenance considerations.

Risk rating

How 9 Imperial Aly'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
96th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 34 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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 88.6%
Moderate concern 8.5%
Severe concern 2.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
