Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 817-819 Kirkham Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1946, currently owned by Trixie S. Nussbaum. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past several years, with the most recent being a reroofing project completed in July 2019 costing $9,800. In 2018, 16 energy-efficient windows with a maximum U-factor of 0.32 were installed, though these were not visible from the street. The building's infrastructure has seen substantial updates, including a complete repiping of both units in February 2011. Earlier maintenance records show three separate reroofing projects: one in 1992 (cost not specified), another in 2003 ($3,800), and a separate electrical service panel upgrade attempt in 2003 that was canceled.

The property has no recorded safety violations or major structural issues, and the maintenance history suggests regular upkeep of essential systems. The only recent service call was a parking enforcement request in July 2024 regarding sidewalk parking, which was resolved by a responding officer. The building's permit history shows consistent investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with particular attention paid to energy efficiency improvements such as the recent window installation. The multiple street space permits from 2019, though not associated with any specific cost, indicate some external work or maintenance activity during that period.

Risk rating

How 817-819 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

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 164 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.2%
Moderate concern 11.6%
Severe concern 3.2%
