Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1124-1126 Irving Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Dawson Family Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and changes since it was built in 1908. Most recently, in January 2023, an exterior spiral staircase was added to improve rear yard access, with related work on an existing rear staircase, representing an investment of over $17,000. In 2021, both units received substantial updates including kitchen and bathroom remodels, along with plumbing upgrades including new water copper lines and gas houseline extensions. The building underwent important safety improvements in 2018 with the installation of a dedicated fire sprinkler system, indicating attention to fire safety protocols.

Historical records show several ambitious but ultimately withdrawn or cancelled proposals, including a 2016 plan for significant vertical and horizontal additions and new commercial space, and a subsequent proposal to replace the existing building with a larger four-story structure. The property has experienced recurring issues with exterior maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding graffiti and debris between 2022 and 2024, though most cases have been resolved. While there was one alarm system activation recorded, it was confirmed as unintentional with no fire or civilian injuries reported. The building's recent history shows an active pattern of maintenance and upgrades by the current owners, with particular attention to modernization and safety improvements, despite the earlier proposals for more extensive redevelopment.

Risk rating

How 1124-1126 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

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 30 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 88.8%
Moderate concern 8.1%
Severe concern 3.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
