Initial analysis

The 1049 Irving Street property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, located in the Inner Sunset neighborhood and built in 1900, currently managed by the Gallagher Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past decades, with the most substantial work occurring in 2012 when major repairs were performed on both rear walls to address dry rot issues, and the front entry stairs were renovated for safety improvements. Additional critical infrastructure work includes a complete automatic fire sprinkler system installation in the basement in 1989, sewer replacement work in 2009, and various sidewalk and street space permits dating back to 2003 and 2005 respectively.

The property has maintained relatively good upkeep with several completed permits showing responsiveness to maintenance needs. Historical records indicate some significant concerns from earlier decades, such as hazardous fibrous materials in 1985 (permit cancelled) and a rear/front stair replacement project in 1997 (permit expired). The building's recent history (past five years) shows no major structural or safety complaints, though there have been typical urban neighborhood issues such as graffiti (2021), noise complaints (2019), and illegal postings (2016), all of which were resolved through standard city channels.

Risk rating

How 1049 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.
