Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1500-1512 Kirkham Street in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1930. Most notably, the property received substantial upgrades in 2016, including a comprehensive electrical service upgrade to 200A for apartments 1500 and 1502, with 100A distribution per apartment. This was followed in 2017-2018 by a major interior renovation that added a study room, remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, and included electrical work throughout the unit, with new fixtures, appliances, and safety features like smoke detectors. The building has a history of maintaining its structural integrity, with wall repairs documented in 1985-1993, though specific issues leading to these repairs are not detailed in the records.

Recent activity from late 2024 shows multiple parking-related incidents, primarily involving blocked driveways, with several citations issued or attempted during this period. There have also been two reports of garbage and debris requiring municipal intervention in July and October 2024. The building has not experienced any recorded fire incidents or civilian injuries, and there are no current planning records indicating pending changes or concerns. The property's recent improvements suggest proper maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, though the recurring parking issues in the immediate vicinity may affect access.

Risk rating

How 1500-1512 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
26th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 602 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 43.1%
Moderate concern 18.7%
Severe concern 38.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
