Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1269 6th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, built in 1924 and currently owned by the Cornell-Dorais Family Trust, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues that have been addressed over time. Most notably, in 2006, the property underwent significant remediation following multiple housing code violations, including issues with fire safety systems, egress obstructions, damaged ceilings, and stair repairs, all of which were resolved by October 2006 through the completion of necessary repairs, including the replacement of posts and joists at a cost of $600. Prior improvements to the building include a complete reroofing in 1994, installation of an electrical upgrade in 2003 to transition from overhead to underground 200-amp service, and various required code compliance upgrades in 1986.

More recent history shows ongoing maintenance attention to the surrounding property, with multiple 311 calls between 2020-2024 primarily concerning exterior issues such as street cleaning, graffiti removal, and utility concerns. Two open cases from 2022 require attention: one regarding tree contact with the building and another related to sidewalk cleaning. A cooking fire incident, classified as "confined to container," was recorded but resulted in no civilian injuries. The building has shown responsiveness to regulatory requirements, particularly during the 2006 violation period, when multiple fire safety concerns were promptly addressed. While there are no recent building code violations on record, the property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as documented through 311 calls, though these primarily relate to the building's surroundings rather than the structure itself.

Risk rating

How 1269 6Th 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

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1254 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 22.2%
Moderate concern 13.8%
Severe concern 64.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
