Initial analysis

The property at 1834 9th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the George Hong Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, including a completed one-story extension of 12 feet in 1984, an upgrade to its electrical infrastructure with a completed 200-amp underground service conversion in 2006, and a gas houseline extension project in 2010 that is now marked as expired.

Recent activity at the property has been largely centered around parking enforcement issues. The most pressing concern is an open sidewalk defect reported in June 2024, involving a collapsed sidewalk condition that requires attention. Between April and December 2024, there have been multiple documented incidents of parking violations in close proximity to the property, particularly regarding sidewalk parking. While some of these incidents have resulted in citations, others have been resolved without enforcement action, and a few cases have been marked as "Unable to Locate" the offending vehicle. The concentration of parking-related complaints, with seven separate incidents in 2024 alone, suggests an ongoing challenge with parking enforcement in the vicinity of the property, though these issues primarily relate to public right-of-way rather than direct building conditions.

Risk rating

How 1834 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 746 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.1%
Moderate concern 14.2%
Severe concern 11.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.

There appear to be multiple structures constructed in the rear yard.the structures have been built incrementally over the past several years. there have been no building permits issued for this property since 1985 according to the public permit history.the rear yard appears substantially built over beyond what would typically be allowed, and the structures appear to be occupied as rental housing.given the lack of permit history and apparent occupancy, i am requesting an inspection for unpermitted construction and possible illegal residential use.
