Initial analysis

The property at 1370-1372 9th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by the Fong Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent major work being the replacement of the house trap in November 2013 and a street space permit issued in the same month. Prior maintenance includes reroofing work completed in 2002 (at a cost of $4,800) and 1990, interior remodeling and plaster removal in 1992-1993, and various structural improvements in the 1980s such as rebuilding rear stairs and decks, cabinet replacements, and bathroom remodeling. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, with all major permits marked as complete except for one siding repair permit from 1992 that expired.

The surrounding area has experienced some recurring maintenance challenges over the past two years, particularly in 2022-2024, with multiple reports of graffiti on city property including parking meters and bike racks, which were subsequently addressed by city crews. There have also been three instances of human or animal waste requiring cleanup in 2024 and 2021, along with a damaged tree incident in 2022. While these external issues don't directly impact the building's condition, they provide context about the immediate neighborhood environment. The property's maintenance record shows consistent investment in both structural and systems improvements, with no significant safety or habitability issues reported through building permits or 311 calls.

Risk rating

How 1370-1372 9Th 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.
