Initial analysis

The property at 1563-1565 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1948 and currently owned by the Lisha-Gould Family Trust. The building's maintenance history includes several significant improvements, with the most recent major work being a rent board-related matter in January 2025 that involved updating the unit's exempted rental status and adjusting the Rent Board Fee. The building underwent window improvements in 2010, when four front windows were replaced with wood-clad versions at a cost of $5,300, and received a new roof in 2002 with a completed permit cost of $8,980. Electrical infrastructure was upgraded in 2003 with the installation of a 200-amp terminal can and associated underground utilities.

The property has experienced various municipal service calls over the past decade, with pavement defects identified in January 2025 showing a low PCI score of 17 and a scheduled repair date in January 2027. Earlier incidents include a mix of parking enforcement and street maintenance issues, such as sidewalk parking violations in 2020 and 2022, a resolved graffiti case in 2016, and a general cleaning request in 2014. Sidewalk defect claims were reported in September 2023 but were not substantiated upon investigation. While most service calls have been resolved, the recent pavement defect notice and sidewalk-related concerns suggest ongoing infrastructure maintenance needs in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1563-1565 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, 448 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.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.4%
Moderate concern 12.0%
Severe concern 6.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
