Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3009 Irving Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Stuart E. and Norma M. Etzler, has experienced several significant issues in recent months. Most notably, in November 2024, multiple active violations were documented concerning lead safety regulations, interior maintenance requirements, and building safety standards, including problems with heating systems, paint conditions, and the need for proper fire extinguishers. These violations appear to be part of a broader pattern of maintenance concerns, with a historical complaint from 1996 still notable regarding water damage from an upstairs bathroom affecting the hallway wall, though this was marked as resolved in 1998. The building's permitted work includes a reroofing project from 2010 valued at over $13,000 and a sidewalk permit from 2006, with a building use designation as flats/duplex established in 1982.

The property's recent history reveals several ongoing environmental and safety compliance challenges. As of December 2024, there are active complaints regarding insufficient heating and multiple lead-related violations, while earlier complaints had documented interior maintenance issues. The building's infrastructure has seen some attention, with a roof replacement executed in 2010, though more recent maintenance appears to be lacking. The surrounding area has experienced various environmental issues, particularly concerning trees, with multiple reports of damaged trees between 2018 and 2023, including incidents of vandalism. There have also been several parking-related incidents near the property, with enforcement actions taken in 2024 and 2023.

Risk rating

How 3009 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
