Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 725 Kirkham Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a 2-story structure owned by Susie Wong and constructed in 1986. The most recent significant improvement to the property is a kitchen remodel completed in August 2023, involving both plumbing and electrical work, with a permit value of $36,000. This update included installation of new appliances and fixtures in their original locations, supported by a new electrical circuit installation for the kitchen. The building's history includes several infrastructure improvements, such as a gas houseline extension in early 2013 and an electrical upgrade in 2023, though an earlier foundation underpinning permit from 2004 is now expired.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety-related events over its history, with the most significant recent issue being a 2020 fire safety complaint regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems, which was ultimately determined to have "No Merit." The building's location has been affected by neighborhood issues including multiple reports of abandoned vehicles between 2018-2020, some of which were resolved through towing or citations. There have also been a few sanitation-related incidents in 2018, including cases of loose garbage on the street or sidewalk, which were addressed by city services. The property's planning history shows an attempt for a front set-back variance that was disapproved, though this was related to a previous proposed construction project rather than the existing building.

Risk rating

How 725-727 Kirkham St'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
87th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 194 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 88.1%
Moderate concern 8.8%
Severe concern 3.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
