Initial analysis

The property at 276-280 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Huey Gim Yuen & Soo Ping Rev. The building has undergone minimum documented maintenance, with only one registered building permit in 1993 for reroofing work, though this permit has since expired. The property has experienced three documented routine housing inspections between 2001 and 2016, with the most recent occurring in December 2016. The 2001 inspection revealed multiple violations including repairs needed for stairs, provision of gas utility shutoff tools, and miscellaneous violations, all of which were abated by November 2, 2001. Similarly, the 2016 routine inspection identified several safety concerns including the need for carbon monoxide detectors, gas meter instructional diagrams, routine safety inspections of common areas, adequate lighting improvements, and various other building safety requirements, though the status of correction is not explicitly documented in the available data.

The building's maintenance and compliance history shows some recurring safety oversight patterns, particularly regarding building and fire safety systems. More recently, between 2022 and 2023, there have been multiple street cleaning and waste removal service requests near the property, with most being related to loose garbage on the street or sidewalk. These public service requests, while not directly related to the building's internal conditions, could reflect on the building's immediate surroundings. The property's documented history suggests periodic oversight of building maintenance and safety requirements by city housing inspectors, with most violations being addressed within reasonable timeframes, though the relative age of the building and its systems (over 110 years old) presents inherent maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 276-280 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.
