Initial analysis

The property at 279 11th Avenue is a 2-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1969 and currently owned by Daniel D Wong Bypass Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023, which included new smoke detectors, pull stations, and monitoring equipment, following a similar installation completed in December 2022. In 2021, substantial window and door upgrades were completed, replacing six doors and twenty windows with energy-efficient alternatives, including new aluminum and vinyl installations.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity and safety, including balcony repairs in 2010 to address wood rot issues, and a reroofing project completed in 2008. A series of violations were recorded in April 2002 during a routine inspection, primarily related to fire safety concerns including fire escape maintenance, extinguisher upkeep, and egress obstructions; however, all these issues were promptly abated within a month. Historical records show consistent window upgrades throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, including aluminum window installations in 1985, 1987, 1991, and 1995. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 1996, 2002, and 2009, all of which were resolved without any ongoing concerns. Recent 311 calls near the property have primarily been related to parking issues on nearby streets, which are not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 279 11Th 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 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1378 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 54.3%
Moderate concern 29.7%
Severe concern 16.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
