Initial analysis

This 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in the Inner Sunset was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by Mufarreh Properties LP. The property has undergone significant seismic safety improvements, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2016 (designated as Tier 3) which involved upgrading moment frames and foundation work at a cost of $88,000, followed by more recent fire alarm system upgrades in 2024 costing over $26,000 to meet current fire safety codes. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to individual units, with recent unit improvements including kitchen and bathroom renovations in units #2 and #3 during 2008-2010, incorporating modern electrical systems and plumbing fixtures.

The building has experienced one significant inspection period in 2010 when multiple building violations were identified and subsequently addressed by February 2011, including issues with stairs, fire escape ladders, window frames, flue caps, and security features. These violations were all abated within a reasonable timeframe, suggesting responsive management. More recent history shows regular routine inspections (1999, 2001) and no active building violations since 2011. The property has undergone essential infrastructure improvements, including a 200-amp service conversion for PG&E in 2004 and foundation work in 2004, demonstrating attention to structural and safety requirements. Recent 311 calls for the property have primarily concerned external issues like parking enforcement and sidewalk maintenance, which are typical for urban properties and not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 1501-1511 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

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.8%
Moderate concern 19.8%
Severe concern 26.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
