Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1417-1419 9th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, built in 1904, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in 2023, there was a gas houseline extension completed, representing the latest infrastructure upgrade. The building experienced major structural work in 2007, including a horizontal rear extension with a roof deck, removal of a bearing wall, installation of a new steel beam, and kitchen relocation with bathroom addition, all requiring multiple permit renewals and totaling over $153,000 in construction costs. Earlier improvements included electrical system upgrades with a new 200-amp service installation and underground service conversion in 2003, followed by various electrical works in 2006-2008.

The property has a history of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire alarm system activations and violations requiring correction, though no actual fire incidents were recorded. In 2012, there was an electrical compliance issue that resulted in a formal complaint, though this was resolved by July 2012. A housing inspection in 2010 revealed various violations, including security and fire safety concerns, all of which were abated by April 2001. Infrastructure maintenance has been ongoing, with foundation work and stair replacement documented in 2006-2007. Recent months have seen multiple complaints about overflowing city garbage cans in the vicinity, though these appear to be municipal service issues rather than building-specific problems. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and upgrades, though there have been periods requiring additional oversight to achieve full compliance with safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 1417-1419 9Th Ave'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.
