Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 2-story apartment building at 4725 Irving Street in the Outer Sunset, owned by Walter L. and Mary E. Kiner, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1959. The property completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2016 (Tier 4) at a cost of $100,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Major infrastructure upgrades were performed between 2019 and 2021, including the addition of an ADU in 2019 ($80,000), comprehensive fire safety improvements in 2020 ($18,500), and a ground-floor sprinkler system installation ($25,000). Recent unit renovations include completed kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 6 (2023) and 2 (2021), with corresponding plumbing and electrical upgrades.

The building has maintained its safety systems with regular updates, including a new fire alarm system installation in 2020 to meet current codes, though it did receive a fire violation in July 2021 that was later rescinded. Historical building complaints from 2000-2011 included issues with fire safety equipment, damaged walls, and egress obstructions, all of which were resolved by the end of November 2000. More recent maintenance issues have been minimal, with some sewer odor complaints in 2023 and periodic reports of illegal postings. The property's maintenance history shows consistent attention to both unit improvements and building safety requirements, with the majority of recent work focusing on individual unit upgrades and system modernization rather than addressing major structural or safety concerns. The building's proper documentation and permit history suggest active management and compliance with city regulations, particularly regarding seismic safety and fire systems.

Risk rating

How 4725 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
3th percentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 613 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.

Building size

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

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 11.6%
Moderate concern 33.0%
Severe concern 55.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
