Initial analysis

245 9th Ave is a 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1967 and currently owned by Pablo Libedinsky Fmly Lvg R. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive electrical panel replacement project in August 2024 that involved upgrading all five units to Eaton panels and relocating them outside of closets. Prior to this, the building received an important fire safety upgrade in 2021 with the installation of a new fire alarm system featuring radio and low frequency sounders. The building's maintenance history shows attention to roof upkeep with a reroofing project completed in 2007.

The property has experienced some safety and maintenance challenges in the past, particularly highlighted by a cluster of violations in December 2016 during routine safety inspections. These violations included issues with fire escape ladders, smoke enclosure doors, damaged walls, and the need for carbon monoxide detectors, though all were subsequently resolved. The building's record shows three documented sewer backup incidents through 2019, indicating a recurring plumbing issue that required attention on multiple occasions. Regular routine inspections of the building's common areas have been conducted in 2000, 2009, and 2016, suggesting ongoing oversight of the property's condition. While there have been several parking-related complaints near the property and one incident of sidewalk graffiti in 2014, the most pressing concerns appear to be the building's historical safety violations and sewer system issues, all of which have been officially marked as resolved in the records.

Risk rating

How 245 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 999 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

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

Owner's portfolio size

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
