Initial analysis

The property at 4716 Irving St in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Samuel Schow. The building experienced a significant incident in October 2011 when a vehicle crashed through the garage door, resulting in substantial damage to the garage, bearing wall, furnace, ductwork, gas systems, water heater, and related infrastructure. This incident triggered a series of repairs and violations, including the need for garage repairs, plumbing work, and electrical repairs, with subsequent violations filed in July 2014 for failure to complete the required final inspections. While these violations remained active through 2014, they were ultimately abated by March 2015. The property has undergone several important infrastructure upgrades, including the replacement of water heaters and furnaces in both units in 2011, and most recently, an electrical panel upgrade from 100 to 200 amps in October 2024, which is currently in the issued stage. A record of street cleaning was documented in January 2014, though this was unrelated to building conditions. The extensive history of repairs and violations following the 2011 incident indicates a period of significant building maintenance activity, which appears to have stabilized with the recent electrical panel upgrade.

Risk rating

How 4716 Irving St'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.
