AI summary

The duplex property at 2909-2911 Irving Street in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1946 and currently owned by the Qiu/guo Family Trust. The building underwent significant renovations in 2012, including comprehensive updates to bathrooms and kitchens, the addition of new bathrooms on the second and third floors, construction of a multi-purpose room with laundry facilities on the ground floor, and a complete electrical rewiring including installation of new lighting fixtures, switches, and outlets. These improvements, valued at $60,000, were accompanied by plumbing work that included the relocation of existing furnaces and updates to bathroom facilities throughout the building.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of municipal service calls, particularly throughout 2024, with multiple reports of abandoned debris, illegal parking, and street cleaning issues in the vicinity. Three false fire alarm incidents and one system malfunction of the alarm were recorded, with no civilian injuries reported in any incidents. The building's maintenance history shows earlier roofing work in 1991 and 1996, though these permits are now expired. While the property has maintained basic safety compliance with fire safety systems, the frequency of recent municipal service calls suggests varying levels of neighborhood activity around the property, particularly regarding street maintenance and parking enforcement. The 2012 renovations demonstrate substantial investment in building systems and habitability improvements, with no major structural or safety issues reported since those improvements were completed.

Risk rating

How 2909-2911 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 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 220 are predicted to be safer.
