Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 719 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1913, currently owned by Virgil Tom Supplemental Nee. The property's inspection and complaint record reveals a concerning pattern of unauthorized construction activity over the past two decades. Most recently, in August 2022, there was a complaint about work being performed in a dangerous manner without the proper permits in the rear building, though this case is currently listed as Not Active. Prior to this, a routine apartment inspection was conducted in August 2017, and another unauthorized construction complaint was filed in August 2001, which was resolved by February 2002. All these incidents suggest a potential ongoing pattern of non-compliance with building regulations, though it's important to note that not all these complaints necessarily indicate current violations of building codes or safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 719 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.
