Initial analysis

The Toy Family Trust owns this two-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 1623-1625 9th Ave in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1902, this flats and duplex-style property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in July 2024, a damaged double-hung window was permitted for replacement at a cost of $1,000. The building experienced notable maintenance issues in 2022-2023, including multiple violations related to interior surfaces, mold and mildew problems, plumbing checks, and lead paint compliance, though these violations were abated by September 2022. A concerning pattern of moisture and mold issues was documented in tenant complaints from July 2022 and April 2023, suggesting persistent water damage problems. The property has undergone several structural and systems improvements, including a 2007 replacement of a brick wall and foundation, 2010 reroofing work, and various electrical upgrades including hallway and garage lighting installation in 2022, Ufer ground installation in 2008, and underground service conversion in 2003.

The building's recent history includes a particular incident of unauthorized short-term vacation rentals by tenants in 2018, which was eventually resolved through intervention by city authorities. Several 311 calls have been made regarding parking enforcement and street cleaning near the property, indicating some ongoing concerns about parking management in the area. A minor uncategorized fire complaint was filed in July 2021 but was found to have no merit. The property has generally maintained compliance with building codes and regulations, with most issues being promptly addressed, though the recurring nature of moisture-related problems suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge. The property trustees have shown responsiveness to necessary repairs and improvements, as evidenced by the variety of building and electrical permits pulled over the years.

Risk rating

How 1623-1625 9Th Ave'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.
