Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1250 9th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Randy D & Judy Cheng Revoc, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance activities since its construction in 1963. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting as a Tier 3 soft-story structure in 2017 (at a cost of $90,000), and a substantial fire alarm system upgrade in 2022-2023 to meet current safety standards (costing $12,000 and including installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas). The building has addressed several important maintenance issues, including window replacements in 2017 (involving dry rot repairs and waterproofing work), reroofing in 2015, and the installation of a Ufer ground wire.

The property has a history of routine housing inspections and some fire safety violations from 2007, which were subsequently resolved within a few months. Recent maintenance has focused on exterior improvements, particularly addressing water damage and ensuring compliance with current building codes. While there have been occasional issues reported through 311 calls (primarily related to street cleaning, parking, and sidewalk conditions), these were generally resolved promptly and do not appear to indicate persistent problems with the building itself. The most recent building activities suggest a proactive approach to maintenance and compliance with safety requirements, with no active violations or major outstanding issues on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1250 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
34th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 985 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.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.4%
Moderate concern 15.5%
Severe concern 22.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
