Initial analysis

The property at 1239-1241 7th Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1910 and currently owned by the Ryan Credit Shelter Trust, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in April 2024, the front entrance stairs were replaced with new concrete steps and metal guardrails at a cost of $20,000. The building has experienced some structural challenges, including powder post beetle damage discovered in 2012, which required repairs to the rear storage room floor and walls, as well as the north side rear exterior wall. This followed earlier work on the rear stairway and deck repairs carried out in 2011-2012. Other improvements have included window replacements, a bathroom remodel with associated plumbing and electrical work in 2011, and sewer repairs completed in 2019.

The property has a history of addressing safety and maintenance concerns, with several routine inspections conducted by Housing Inspection Services in 1999, 2002, 2009, and 2011. While there were some violations identified in past inspections regarding stairs, deck boards, handrails, and security glazing, these issues were all marked as abated. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure, including multiple stairway replacements and repairs over the years. Recent neighborhood service requests have primarily been related to external issues such as graffiti removal and street cleaning, with the most recent maintenance work focusing on the front entrance stairs. The property's planning records confirm that no additional units have been added, and all significant improvements have been made in compliance with building regulations.

Risk rating

How 1239-1241 7Th 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.
