Initial analysis

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 4340 Kirkham Street in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood was built in 1907 and is currently owned by the Laurino Joan H 2005 Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably a complete electrical system upgrade in March 2023 that included rewiring the home and upgrading to a 200-amp service panel with two 100-amp meters. Other major renovations include a reroofing project completed in 2015 (cost: $14,800) and a comprehensive gas line replacement in the lower unit in 2013 that updated connections for the wall heater, water heater, and stove.

The building has experienced multiple fire alarm incidents over the years, though all were either false alarms or unintentional detector activations with no civilian injuries reported. A weed and grass complaint was filed and resolved in 2020. The most recent tenant buyout related to this address occurred in November 2024, involving a payment of $45,000 for one tenant at a nearby property (1483 47th Avenue), though this is not directly related to the current building's occupancy status. The property has generated numerous 311 calls in recent months (primarily between October 2024 and December 2024), mostly concerning parking violations and garbage issues in the surrounding area, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 4340 Kirkham 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
41th percentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 373 are predicted to be safer.
