Initial analysis

The property at 1271-1273 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1970 and currently owned by Innerspaces LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements, most notably a completed soft-story retrofit in 2016 that cost $75,000 and brought the building into compliance with SFBC Chapter 34B requirements. More recently, in August 2020, there was an electrical upgrade permitted for the building. The property has a documented history of fire safety concerns from 2007, when multiple violations were issued regarding combustible storage and improper flooring materials, though these were all successfully abated by January 2010. The building has received several routine housing inspections over the years (2001, 2007, and 2018), all of which are listed as not active.

The surrounding area has experienced various parking-related issues, with multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents between 2019 and 2022, all of which were resolved by responding authorities. There were also two encampment cleanup reports in early 2021 near the property that were addressed by city services. The most recent building-related incident was a parking meter damage report in September 2024, which was also resolved. The building's documented history shows consistent attention to safety improvements and compliance with San Francisco housing regulations, particularly in terms of fire safety and structural integrity.

Risk rating

How 1271-1273 9Th Ave'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
