Initial analysis

The property at 1786-1788 9th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Daniel Lee Zeitman and constructed in 1946. The building's maintenance history shows several notable events, with the most recent significant work being a window replacement project in 2012 that upgraded four street-facing windows at a cost of $9,400. A critical incident occurred in September 2005 when the landlord attempted to remove bathroom floor tiles without the proper permits, leading to a building violation and subsequent water damage mitigation work that cost $1,000. This violation was resolved within a week of being filed, in accordance with city regulations.

The property's most recent history (2023-2025) shows a pattern of street cleaning and maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage, debris, and abandoned furniture occurring between April 2023 and January 2025. Specifically, there have been at least nine documented incidents involving debris cleanup, including hazardous materials (glass) removal in April 2024. While these recent issues primarily pertain to street-level conditions rather than building-specific concerns, they may indicate ongoing challenges with property maintenance in the surrounding area. The building's utility infrastructure was improved in 2003 with an underground electrical conversion, which was completed successfully.

Risk rating

How 1786-1788 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.
