Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 130-132 9th Avenue, owned by Wang Yale & Shi Tianen, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1909 in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2018-2019 when comprehensive updates were made throughout the building including kitchen and bathroom remodels, installation of new balconies, and window replacements. A notable feature added during this period was the installation of a solar PV system with batteries in September 2020, comprising 13 panels with a capacity of 4.42 kW. The building received modern amenities including an elevator installation, but this particular permit was withdrawn and modified to revise room configurations and adjust certain features.

The property has shown proactive maintenance and upgrading of systems, including the installation of new electrical meters, comprehensive plumbing updates including the installation of new water heaters and radiant heating systems, and a natural gas fireplace. While there was one building complaint in 2010 regarding unpermitted plumbing work, this was quickly resolved within one month. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved external concerns such as parking violations and a sewage backup in 2020, though these do not directly reflect on the building's condition. The building's most recent significant modifications consisted of upgrading various systems and improving energy efficiency, with no active building violations or complaints on record since 2010.

Risk rating

How 130-132 9Th 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.
