Initial analysis

The property at 9-11 Sutro Heights Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, built in 1947 and currently owned by Wendy W F Kwan and Charles Ho. The building's history reveals significant modifications between 2000-2003, including the unauthorized conversion of ground-floor space into habitable rooms. In February 2000, construction was permitted for a new bedroom, playroom, and full bathroom on the ground floor at a cost of $13,600, followed by an additional kitchen removal project in November 2002. However, these modifications led to a compliance issue when a complaint was filed in October 2002 regarding the illegal conversion of occupancy from R-3 to R-1 without proper planning approval, specifically citing unauthorized rooms with an installed kitchen. This violation was eventually abated by August 2003 following the removal of the kitchen stove and associated utilities, with necessary electrical permits completed in June 2003.

More recent history shows typical urban living challenges, including several 311 calls regarding local issues such as a blocked sidewalk due to privately maintained vegetation (December 2022, still open), a resolved driveway blocking incident (February 2022), and a parking space blockage by construction equipment (March 2015, determined invalid). The building's past violations and unauthorized modifications were addressed and resolved through proper permits and abatement processes, with the status of the violation records marked as "Closed - Abated." While the property has experienced various neighborhood-related issues common in urban settings, there are no current active violations or safety concerns on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 9-11 Sutro Heights 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 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 822 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.9%
Moderate concern 17.7%
Severe concern 9.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
