Initial analysis

This two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 1530 Irving Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by William J Coggan and Graziella, was constructed in 1962 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (with a cost of $83,000) to enhance earthquake safety, and in 2020, units 3 and 5 received window and patio door upgrades costing $7,550. The building experienced a series of fire safety violations in late 2007, which were all resolved by February 2008, including issues with fire extinguisher maintenance, smoke detector certification, means of egress obstructions, and fire escape ladder conditions. All these violations were addressed through a $1,000 repair project completed in December 2007.

The property has maintained regular housing inspections through Housing Inspection Services, with routine inspections recorded in 2001, 2007, and 2009. Recent maintenance activities have largely focused on exterior elements, including tree removal work completed in 2021 and various sidewalk cleaning issues documented through 311 calls. Between 2020 and 2024, the building management has addressed multiple service requests, including waste management concerns and graffiti removal. There have been two documented smoke detector activations in the building's history, though neither incident resulted in any injuries or confirmed fires. The most recent building-related incidents have primarily involved routine maintenance and street cleaning issues, with no major safety violations or building code concerns since the 2007 fire safety violations were resolved.

Risk rating

How 1530 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.

Neighborhood percentile
31th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1030 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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 59.1%
Moderate concern 18.4%
Severe concern 22.5%
