Initial analysis

The property at 825-827 Kirkham Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1946 and classified as a flats & duplex structure, this two-story building is currently owned by Barbara Ann Elbl. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2015, including a trenchless sewer replacement and water heater installation. In 2013, the property received window upgrades with the installation of eight vinyl, insulated glass windows at the rear of both apartments, and additional improvements included reroofing projects completed in 2009 and 1991, along with fireplace installation in the upper unit (1993) and earlier window upgrades in 1985.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, though there was an expired termite work permit from 1993 worth noting. The property has experienced some external issues over the years, particularly with abandoned vehicles - between 2009 and 2019, there were multiple incidents reported, though most vehicles were either towed or vacated upon inspection, with the exception of one incident in 2009 where a vehicle was towed for outstanding registration/tickets. A single instance of offensive graffiti on the street was reported and resolved in 2015. While these external incidents occurred in the vicinity of the property, they do not directly impact the building's condition or resident experience.

Risk rating

How 825-827 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
