Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 225 Irving Street in the Inner Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1923 and is currently managed by Stanyan Hill & Irving Arms. The property has undergone various maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with some significant work completed in the early 1990s including foundation repairs, dry rot repair, and various apartment renovations. More recent building improvements include the installation of a new 119-gallon hot water storage tank in 2012, though several earlier permits from 2000 related to re-roofing work and roof canopy construction expired without completion.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety system issues, particularly regarding the alarm systems, with violations noted in 2024, 2022, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017 - though most were promptly corrected. A recent violation from July 2024 regarding alarm system maintenance remains open. In 2003, the property faced multiple fire safety violations that were successfully abated by May 2003. The building underwent routine housing inspections in 2017, and there have been various infrastructure improvements noted in the 1990s, including kitchen renovations and the installation of a broom closet in the lobby. Recent 311 calls in 2024 have primarily concerned parking issues and pavement defects near the property, with one instance of graffiti and waste removal noted in 2022. The most recent building safety complaints and violations suggest ongoing attention is required for fire safety equipment maintenance and compliance.

Risk rating

How 225 Irving St'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, 1403 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.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 16.0%
Moderate concern 25.9%
Severe concern 58.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
