Initial analysis

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 1262 7th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a flats/duplex structure built in 1904, currently owned by Jenny Pool Yin Choo. The building's maintenance and structural history shows regular upkeep, with the most recent significant work occurring in late 2020 when permeation grout was installed to stabilize the foundation to a depth of approximately 6 feet below grade, in response to work being done on the adjacent property at 1266 7th Avenue, at a cost of $20,650.

Prior structural improvements were made in 2009, including a voluntary upgrade to the garage ceiling joists and repair of dry rot in the back fire escape stairs, with associated plumbing work for drain modifications and electrical re-routing completed under separate permits, totaling approximately $4,000 for the structural work alone. The building did experience an unpermitted electrical modification in 1999, involving the installation of nine outlets and associated wiring, though this was promptly addressed within a month of reporting. The only recent incident related to the property was a parking enforcement issue in August 2023, involving a citation for parked vehicles blocking the driveway or sidewalk, which was resolved through official intervention.

Risk rating

How 1262 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 433 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.0%
Moderate concern 12.9%
Severe concern 5.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
