Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1570 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood has experienced several notable incidents over its history, with some recurring issues that may impact resident quality of life. Built in 1983 following a demolition completed that same year, this two-story flats/duplex structure has faced multiple sewer-related incidents, with documented backups through the 4-inch vent system in February and September of 2014-2016. The building's immediate vicinity has seen frequent issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with five such incidents recorded between 2019 and 2023, though not all resulted in citations. Street maintenance and cleanliness have been concerns, evidenced by pavement defects reported in 2023, a hazardous materials incident involving liquids in 2008, and street cleaning needs documented in 2019. The property's infrastructure has experienced intermittent issues requiring attention, including a sewage vent problem in 2016 that required resolution through PUC services. While the building's fundamental structure remains intact since its 1983 construction, these recurring issues related to both internal systems and external maintenance suggest ongoing attention to building and neighborhood infrastructure is required for optimal resident experience.

Risk rating

How 1570 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
71th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 433 are predicted to be safer.
