Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 746-748 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1915 and currently owned by the Wong Don & Brenda Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most notable being three kitchen remodel projects: two completed in 2021 and 2022, all involving in-kind upgrades with associated plumbing and electrical permits totaling approximately $48,000 in work. Historical records show earlier maintenance activities including a reroofing project from 1993 and some street space permits from 2014.

The building has experienced minimal issues regarding resident and neighborhood impact, with only one notable complaint filed in May 2020 regarding construction noise and landscaping work starting too early in the morning, though this complaint is no longer active. Routine housing inspections were conducted in 2002 and 2010 with no reported violations. Various 311 calls from the area mostly relate to street cleaning and abandoned vehicles, with two reports of loose garbage in 2014 and 2020 (both resolved via pickup) and two reports of abandoned vehicles in 2014 and 2016, though these were resolved when the vehicles were gone upon inspection.

Risk rating

How 746-748 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
