Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1132-1134 Kirkham Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1939, currently owned by Fong James & Josephine since 2002. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent being a window rehabilitation project completed in 2023 that included recaulkings, priming, and painting of 28 windows and their trims at a cost of $12,000. The building has seen substantial mechanical system upgrades in the past few years, including a gas furnace replacement in 2021, water heater replacement in 2022, and trenchless sewer line replacement in 2017. Earlier maintenance records from 2002 show roofing work and repairs to address dryrot damage at the exterior rear stairs.

The property has maintained a reasonably good record over the years, with only routine municipal interactions noted through 311 calls, primarily relating to street and sidewalk issues such as abandoned vehicles, graffiti, and parking violations, which are common urban neighborhood concerns. There were two code compliance-related incidents noted in the early 1980s, including a cancelled compliance case in 1983 and a completed property conservation complaint in 1984, though no similar issues have been recorded in recent decades. A water quality service request was received in 2020, but was determined to not be an incident of water waste and required no action. The building appears to be well-maintained, with recent investments in both the exterior and interior systems, though prospective tenants should be aware of the property's age and typical urban-related neighborhood issues as evidenced by the 311 call history.

Risk rating

How 1132-1134 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.
