Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1307-1309 6th Avenue in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Elmer S. Li and Mi Young Kim, was constructed in 1907 and consists of three stories. The property underwent significant improvements in 2020-2021, including a comprehensive electrical system upgrade with a new subpanel, insulation replacement for energy compliance, kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations, and window replacements, with associated plumbing and electrical permits issued in April 2021 all completing the $100,000 renovation project. A reroofing project was completed in 2017 at a cost of $6,000.

The building's inspection and complaint history shows periodic routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1999 and 2009, all of which were promptly resolved. In recent months (2024-2025), there have been multiple parking-related incidents near the property, with five instances of driveway blocking reported, though most could not be validated by responding officers. There were also four instances of abandoned debris (including furniture, a mattress, and a refrigerator) reported in November 2024, all of which were scheduled for removal by city services. A routine inspection from 1999 and two from 2009 were all completed with no noted ongoing issues. The property's recent history shows no major safety concerns or building code violations, with all permits and improvements completed according to records.

Risk rating

How 1307-1309 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
86th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 209 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.6%
Moderate concern 15.9%
Severe concern 9.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
