Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1012 Kirkham Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by Ritchie Sharon D Lvg Tr, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1957. Most recently, in 2019, the building received a new sewer main and house trap installation, followed by multiple electrical updates including kitchen remodels in units #1 (2018), #2 (2020), and #3 (2013), as well as an electrical service upgrade to 200 amp with five meter sockets in 2009. The building's maintenance history includes a reroofing project completed in 2003 costing $8,975.

A notable incident occurred in October 2002 when the building was cited for requiring repairs to the wood stairs along the north side, though these violations were abated by May 2003. The property has experienced repeated issues with abandoned vehicles and parking violations in the vicinity between 2021-2024, with multiple reports of blocking driveways and sidewalk parking, though these are external to the building itself. A recent tenant buyout was recorded in April 2024 for the adjacent property at 1032 Kirkham Street, with a compensation amount of $142,500 for one tenant. The building has maintained active compliance with housing inspections, with the most recent routine inspections showing no active violations.

Risk rating

How 1012 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.
