Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1000 Kirkham Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by Fong Clark L & Maria Yee, was constructed in 1957 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years. Most notably, in January 2020, the building faced a serious safety issue when the rear stairs were found to be in dilapidated condition, prompting a violation notice and subsequent repairs costing $800 that were completed by the end of January 2020. A 2012 sewer lateral replacement project from the front of the property to the housetrap was initiated but has since expired. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a reroofing project in 1992, aluminum window installation in 1988, and a code compliance update in 1986. Two routine apartment inspections were conducted in 2001 and 2002, showing general compliance with housing standards.

Recent activity around the building, particularly in 2024, has primarily involved street-related issues, including multiple reports of abandoned vehicles, garbage and debris concerns, and pavement defects. Of particular note is an August 2024 report of human waste or urine on the street that was resolved. A damaged tree was reported and resolved in July 2024. The building itself has maintained a stable condition since the 2020 stair repairs, with no recent building code violations or major systems failures. The only fire-related incident on record was a false alarm in 2012, which was promptly corrected.

Risk rating

How 1000 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

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1284 are predicted to be safer.
