Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 1024-1028 Irving Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by Ronald & Laura Cheung since 2020, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects, most recently completing a $55,000 facade siding renovation in August 2023 using architectural-grade materials. The three-story structure, built in 1945 and classified as a "Flat & Store" building, has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, with the most recent concerns including a complaint filed in February 2024 regarding an unposted address and issues with garbage receptacles being left out. The building's historical records show several permit activities, including a 2006 garage door installation and multiple attempts to erect signs in 2001, though those sign permits ultimately expired. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been several 311 calls regarding the property, including multiple reports of graffiti (which were dismissed under emergency legislation), general maintenance issues, and concerns about toter management. A single fire-related incident was recorded involving a CO detector malfunction, with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 1024-1028 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.
