Initial analysis

The four-unit multi-family residential building at 1529 Irving Street in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Barreneche Marie S Rev Liv, is a two-story apartment structure constructed in 1951. The building is currently undergoing reroofing work, with an $18,000 permit issued in July 2024, representing the most significant recent maintenance activity. The property faced several safety and maintenance challenges in the early 2000s, with routine inspections in November 2000 and September 2002 revealing multiple fire safety violations, including the need for smoke detectors in the lobby and staircase, smoke enclosure door closers, and the improper storage of garbage receptacles. All of these violations were successfully abated by January 17, 2001.

In recent months, the area surrounding the building has experienced multiple urban challenges, as evidenced by eight 311 calls between July and December 2024, primarily regarding encampments and garbage issues. Most of these cases were resolved either through city intervention or were marked as unable to locate. While these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management, they provide context about the immediate neighborhood environment. The most recent building maintenance activity (reroofing) and the historical resolution of building violations suggest that the property has addressed its past safety concerns, though the distance in time since the last documented internal building issues should be noted.

Risk rating

How 1529 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.
