Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1524 Irving Street, owned by Peter T. and Jenny L. Tran, has undergone several significant changes and faced various compliance issues since its construction in 1922. The property includes a ground-floor restaurant space and has been involved in multiple permit enforcement actions regarding unauthorized modifications. Most recently, in April 2023, unauthorized kitchen items (electric stove, mini refrigerator, etc.) were removed from a previous owner's apartment, following earlier enforcement actions in 2021 that mandated the removal of unauthorized features such as an awning with roof tiles, unsupported lights, and unpermitted restaurant signage. The building has undergone various improvements including ADA accessibility modifications in 2013, facade restoration efforts in 2020, and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades between 2013-2014 related to the restaurant space.

The property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, with multiple incidents reported between 2023-2024, though many were resolved through city intervention. Recent complaints have included illegal encampments and parking lane issues, with the most recent cases being addressed as of October 2024. Planning records indicate ongoing scrutiny of the building's modifications, including efforts to remove unauthorized work and clarify the property's unit configuration, though inspections found no evidence of an unauthorized dwelling unit (UDU) on the second floor. The building's commercial space has maintained valid restaurant use permits, and fire-related inspections have shown no significant safety concerns, with only one operating without permit complaint in 2021 that was promptly corrected.

Risk rating

How 1524 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.
