Initial analysis

The property at 1407 Irving Street in the Inner Sunset is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Liao Yan. The building's maintenance history includes several notable events: a re-roofing project was completed in 2011 at a cost of $5,000; termite damage repairs were addressed in 1999; and in 1984, the basement slab was lowered to achieve an 8-foot ceiling height. A significant issue arose in 2003 when an unauthorized security gate was installed over 6 feet in height, allegedly attached to the neighboring property without consent, though this violation was resolved by April 2004.

Recent and active maintenance concerns include a sewage backup incident in April 2022, which was resolved by the Public Utilities Commission, and various parking-related complaints in the vicinity. The property has experienced some external maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple graffiti incidents, including a notable case in February 2022 on the commercial section of the building. The most recent complaint related to the property was in August 2023, concerning a damaged tree with reported vandalism issues. While not directly related to the building's structure, the surrounding area has seen various service requests, including street cleaning, tree maintenance, and parking enforcement matters, indicating normal urban maintenance challenges in the neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 1407 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.

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

Severe concern 9.6%
