Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1175 Kirkham Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Wong Sherman N H & Shou Yin, was constructed in 1955 and contains 6 units. The building has a notable history of safety and maintenance issues, particularly in 2001 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with fire escape ladders, smoke detector requirements, fire extinguisher maintenance, and building safety concerns related to stairs. All these violations were resolved by October 29, 2001. A significant repair was completed in 2010 when rear exterior stairs were addressed following a Notice of Violation, with work valued at $700. The building's previous roof work from 1998 is listed as expired.

In recent months (September-December 2024), there have been numerous maintenance and public space concerns reported through 311 calls, primarily focusing on garbage and debris issues, including abandoned furniture, electronics, and overflowing city garbage cans. Several complaints were made regarding parking violations on sidewalks, though responding officers were generally unable to locate the reported vehicles. There was one complaint about private construction noise, which was transferred for tracking. While these recent issues primarily pertain to public spaces rather than the building's internal systems, they do suggest ongoing challenges with waste management and street maintenance in the immediate vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 1175 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
