Initial analysis

The property at 1431 Irving Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1908, containing four residential units and ground-floor commercial space, currently owned by Liu Jui Cheng Chang. The building underwent significant renovations in 2008, including a major commercial space build-out with new electrical systems, cabinets, counters, and plumbing work completed in May 2008, with fire safety enhancements to the kitchen ceiling joists filed in August 2008. A concerning pattern of housing violations emerged in 2012 when multiple unauthorized dwelling units and unsafe conditions were reported, including illegal rooms, unauthorized kitchen facilities, inadequate heating, and electrical system issues, though the official status of this complaint was marked as Not Active after May 2012. The building's ground-floor commercial space appears to have experienced vacancy issues, as indicated by a January 2023 complaint regarding empty stores at 1433 and 1435.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and public space issues, including multiple instances of graffiti (most recently in August 2023), tree maintenance (October 2023), and various sidewalk-related concerns between 2017-2018. Several complaints have been resolved through official channels, including a defaced sign repair in 2021 and a sidewalk blocking incident in 2018, though one noise complaint in 2017 was deemed invalid. The building's infrastructure work has included various updates over the years, such as bathroom modifications in 1993 and a cancelled sign permit from 1990. While many historical complaints have been addressed, the most significant concerns revolve around the 2012 housing violations, which, despite being marked as Not Active, suggest past issues with unauthorized unit conversions and safety compliance that may impact resident experience and safety.

Risk rating

How 1431-1435 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.
