Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 758 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1903, currently owned by Otto Pak-hang and Otto Pak-ha. The building's documented history shows minimal maintenance issues, with only one significant incident requiring attention from city services: a sewer backup in December 2020 that was promptly addressed and resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. The property has experienced multiple occurrences of abandoned vehicles in the surrounding area between 2012 and 2016, particularly during a notable cluster in September 2015 and July 2015, though all these issues were resolved quickly as the vehicles were gone upon inspection. Additional non-building related incidents include one instance of graffiti on a pole (March 2014) and a general street cleaning matter involving loose garbage (November 2012), both of which were properly resolved. While the frequency of abandoned vehicle reports might suggest some local concern, all documented incidents have been addressed according to city protocols, and only the sewer issue directly impacted the building's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 758 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, 689 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

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 80.5%
Moderate concern 12.4%
Severe concern 7.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
