Initial analysis

This two-story multi-family residential building, located at 1039-1041 Irving St in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, was constructed in 1926 and includes two units above a retail space. The property, currently owned by Herman M H & Yuk Chun Chan, has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably in 2009 when a new UL 300 wet chemical fire system was installed and chemical grouting was applied to the east side foundation. Earlier modifications in 1990 included various improvements to the ground floor retail space, such as fire system installations for kitchen equipment, the construction of an awning, and bathroom renovations. A previously proposed installation of storage racks for grocery store use in 1989 was cancelled.

The building's maintenance and incident record shows regular upkeep of public areas, including responses to street cleaning issues in 2020 and 2018, and various infrastructure matters such as graffiti removal in 2016 and 2012, and a pavement defect inspection in 2013 which found no leaks. The property's most recent activity was a Rent Board callback in October 2023 regarding unit count changes. While the building has experienced typical urban issues like illegal parking and graffiti, these incidents have been promptly addressed by city services. The documented history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of both residential and commercial spaces, with particular attention to fire safety systems.

Risk rating

How 1039-1041 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.
