Initial analysis

The property at 1442-1444 9th Avenue is a two-story, duplex-style multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1902 and currently owned by the Bravo Sarah J Revocable Trust, this building has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in 2021, the building received a completed reroofing project costing $7,200. Prior renovations included window upgrades, with eight replacement windows installed in 2007 (cost: $10,900), and a pair of permits from 2006 for additional window and door replacements valued at $11,000, though the latter permit expired without completion. The building's electrical system was modernized in 2003 with a complete underground service conversion to 100 amp with two meters.

The property's history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading efforts, though some planned improvements have not been completed as intended. Notably, a proposed rear yard horizontal addition with a new sunroom and roof deck (2017 permit) was ultimately cancelled. The building's exterior and surrounding area have experienced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by multiple graffiti incidents (2018-2021) and several parking-related complaints, including reports of sidewalk parking in 2020 and 2024, though these issues were resolved through appropriate city channels. While the building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of structural elements like the roof and windows, the presence of multiple historical permits for window replacements between 2006 and 2007 suggests ongoing efforts to maintain energy efficiency and aesthetics, with varying degrees of completion.

Risk rating

How 1442-1444 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 239 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.0%
Moderate concern 11.6%
Severe concern 5.4%
