Initial analysis

This two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located at 1365 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood was built in 1963 and is currently owned by Richard K Lutkemuller (2012). The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a complete electrical system upgrade in 2017 to meet new insurance requirements, installation of a new roof in 1997, and a sidewalk repair in 2003. In September 2016, the property underwent a routine housing inspection that revealed multiple fire safety violations, including issues with fire extinguishers, fire escape ladders, smoke alarm affidavits, smoke enclosure doors, fire proofing materials, and structural maintenance requirements. These violations were all addressed and abated by October 13, 2016. A heating complaint was filed in May 2007 regarding inadequate heat maintenance, though this issue was resolved within a week.

More recently, there have been several building maintenance concerns reported, including a carbon monoxide detector activation in 2017 (which was determined to be a false alarm with no CO present) and a fire alarm systems issue that was corrected between November 2017 and January 2018. The property has experienced multiple incidence of driveway blocking and parking violations in 2024, as well as issues with graffiti and debris, though these are primarily external to the building itself. The most recent building-related concern was a sewage backup from the side sewer vent in November 2024, which has been resolved. The building has maintained regular inspections, with no active violations currently on record, though there is one open case regarding graffiti from June 2024.

Risk rating

How 1365 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.

Neighborhood percentile

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 41.9%
Moderate concern 19.2%
Severe concern 39.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
