Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1535 Irving Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Yu Family Trust, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1951. Most notably, the building received a major electrical upgrade in 2008 with the installation of a 200-amp underground service system including 5 meters and 16 circuits. Recent window improvements include the installation of 6 energy-efficient double-pane vinyl windows in 2012, following earlier aluminum window installations in 1992. The building previously experienced a cluster of violations in 2000 and 2002 related to safety and fire code compliance, including issues with gas utility shutoff tools, fire extinguisher maintenance, garbage receptacle placement, and storage concerns, though all these violations were resolved by December 2000.

The property has faced some recent challenges, most notably a hoarding issue reported in April 2022 that was resolved by March 2023. Recent 311 calls primarily concern street-level conditions rather than the building itself, with multiple reports of encampments, graffiti, garbage, and hazardous materials (glass) on or near the property between January and October 2024. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to code compliance and safety upgrades, with no active violations currently on record.

Risk rating

How 1535 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 911 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 56.7%
Moderate concern 16.1%
Severe concern 27.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
