Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 774 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1973 and is currently under the ownership of Peter Booth Wiley Tr. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most notable recent work including a 2013 upgrade of 12 aluminum windows and front facade stucco replacement ($15,000), and a 2012 reroofing project ($24,850). The building experienced multiple compliance issues in 2002, when it received notices for water damage, plumbing problems (including sink and toilet repairs), interior surface issues, and window hardware concerns, all of which were abated by March 2002. A routine inspection in 2010 revealed various maintenance needs including fire proofing repairs and weather proofing at the roof, though these issues were subsequently addressed by May 2010.

The property's infrastructure has received ongoing attention, with notable work including a 2010 sewer line repair at the sidewalk and a garage door repair in 2012. Recent municipal service calls have been mostly routine, including general street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues between 2016 and 2024. Several complaints have been logged through the 311 system over the years, ranging from a damaged tree report in 2016 to various sanitation and sewer concerns, though most were resolved without indicating persistent problems. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both structural and aesthetic elements, with major systems receiving periodic upgrades and repairs as needed.

Risk rating

How 774 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, 1068 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.

Number of units

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

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 67.4%
Moderate concern 13.0%
Severe concern 19.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
