Initial analysis

The property at 1416-1418 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building owned by Carol W. Wang and constructed in 1977. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including two major roofing projects: one in 1995 and a more recent one in 2021 costing $19,300. Window replacements were completed in 2004, with two permits issued for 4 and 8 windows respectively, totaling $7,000. More recently, in 2006, electrical work was completed to reinstall a common area meter system.

The building has experienced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years, most notably regarding graffiti, with eight incidents reported between January 2024 and December 2024, though many were deemed not offensive and were resolved through departmental intervention. There have been occasional parking enforcement issues near the property, with three reported cases of sidewalk parking between June 2024 and September 2024, though one was unable to be verified by responding officers. The building's infrastructure appears to be maintained adequately, as evidenced by the completed roofing work and window replacements, though the recurring graffiti issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance in certain areas.

Risk rating

How 1416-1418 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
48th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 776 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.3%
Moderate concern 12.8%
Severe concern 10.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
