Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1115-1117 Kirkham Street in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, is owned by the Quan Mee Feng Trust and was constructed in 1937. The property has experienced recurring sewer infrastructure issues in recent months, with five documented sewage back-up incidents from the side sewer vent between December 9-11, 2024, which required multiple interventions by the Public Utilities Commission's Sewer Operations team. Additionally, there were two tree-related maintenance issues reported in late 2024: an overgrown tree blocking street lights (resolved in November) and a situation involving damaging property due to lifted sidewalk tree roots that remains open as of August 2024. The street has seen several parking-related enforcement actions during 2024, including two incidents of illegal parking (one in August and another in November), and there were various municipal service calls regarding pavement defects and abandoned vehicles, though most of these cases were resolved relatively quickly.

The building's maintenance history shows limited major work, with only one significant building permit on record for a reroofing project completed in 1992. A noteworthy tenant buyout occurred on September 28, 2021, involving two tenants at the address, with a buyout amount of $50,000. While the building's basic infrastructure and services appear to be maintained, the recent cluster of sewer-related incidents suggests there may be ongoing challenges with the property's sewage system, which is potentially affecting resident quality of life. The property also shows some environmental maintenance needs, particularly regarding tree management and its impact on adjacent infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1115-1117 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, 433 are predicted to be safer.
