Initial analysis

The three-story, multi-family residential building at 1366-1368 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Kwong Lam Po & Shirley Kam, dates back to 1914 and contains two units plus commercial space. The property underwent significant transformations between 2015-2022, particularly regarding its commercial portion, which transitioned from retail to a limited restaurant and then to a full restaurant in 2022. This process included major improvements such as ADA compliance updates, kitchen renovations, and the installation of safety features like a fire system and grease trap. These commercial modifications were accompanied by the legalization of an existing unit and kitchen on the third floor per Ordinance 43-14 in 2015.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Notable concerns include a sewage backup incident in March 2022, multiple graffiti incidents (with two still open as of 2024), and a hazardous materials situation involving liquid spills in September 2023. There was also a building complaint filed in February 2015 regarding unpermitted work, though this is currently listed as not active. The property's infrastructure has required attention, as evidenced by sidewalk repair permits from 2003 and various plumbing and electrical upgrades associated with the restaurant conversion. The building's fire alarm system required attention in 2007, though the issue was resolved within two months. Recent municipal service calls have primarily focused on street cleaning and maintenance issues, with the most significant being a hazardous materials cleanup in late 2023.

Risk rating

How 1366-1368 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.
