Initial analysis

The two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 775 9th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Sheng Morgan & Wen Lida, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1918. Most notably, in 2016, the building received substantial upgrades including a complete reroofing project costing $8,700, kitchen and bathroom remodels in units A and C ($62,320), a new furnace installation, and an electrical system upgrade including a 200-amp main service panel installation. These improvements were completed in compliance with relevant safety codes and regulations.

The building has experienced periodic routine inspections and faced several safety-related issues in the past, particularly in 2004 and 2010. In 2004, multiple fire safety concerns were identified including combustible storage issues, alarm system problems, and fire extinguisher maintenance needs, though these were promptly abated by October 19, 2004. A 2010 routine inspection revealed concerns about slip-resistant walking surfaces in egress areas, lead paint hazards, and a requirement for a re-inspection notice, all of which were eventually resolved by May 2012. Additionally, there was a leaking ceiling issue reported in 1998 that was resolved within a month. While there have been some recent service requests in the vicinity of the building (2021-2024), including parking and maintenance issues, these were primarily related to street-level concerns rather than building performance or resident safety. The building's systems have generally been well-maintained, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of various violations and regular upgrades to meet current safety standards.

Risk rating

How 775 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, 1378 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.

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 62.2%
Moderate concern 18.8%
Severe concern 19.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
