Initial analysis

The 4-unit apartment building at 73-79 Iris Avenue, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1948 and is currently owned by Patrick J. McManus. The two-story multi-family residential building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past decades, with the most recent major work being a $14,000 reroofing project completed in 2016. The property has seen substantial window upgrades, including the installation of 21 vinyl windows in 2006 and four additional windows in 2005, both projects totaling over $10,000. A critical infrastructure upgrade occurred in 2015 with the replacement of the house trap and sewer line, while 2012-2013 saw comprehensive electrical and plumbing improvements including a 200-amp service upgrade and installation of new copper water services.

The building's history includes several inspection-related interventions, particularly notable in 2012-2013 when multiple 3-R reports were completed, suggesting previous deficiencies that were addressed through various permits. In 2006, the property experienced a series of building violations related to maintenance and safety issues, including problems with fire safety systems, interior surfaces, and weatherproofing, though all these violations were resolved by June 2006. The building was also subject to three routine inspections (2006, 2011, and 1999), indicating regular oversight by housing authorities. A significant plumbing correction was made in 2013 to comply with a physical inspection report, demonstrating the building's responsiveness to regulatory requirements. The property underwent a condo conversion process that was approved, though the developer information remains unclear.

Risk rating

How 73-79 Iris 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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Moderate concern 17.7%
Severe concern 9.9%
