Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1650 Kirkwood Avenue, owned by Yee Billey L W & Anne H, was constructed in 1988 following the demolition of a single-family dwelling on the site. The property has undergone several permitted modifications since its construction, including a garage wall addition and kitchen exit modification in 1991, though some earlier renovation attempts from 1990 were cancelled. A notable improvement to the building was the installation of a small solar panel system in 2012, consisting of six roof-mounted PV modules with a total rating of 1.416 kW.

In terms of recent history, the building experienced a significant abandonment period in 2007 that lasted over a year, during which time there were security concerns due to unauthorized access. More recently, the property has been the subject of numerous complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, including reports of excessive noise, graffiti, and multiple instances of garbage and debris issues. There have also been several reports of abandoned vehicles near the property during this period. A fire code violation was documented in February 2020, specifically related to sprinkler system obstructions, though this issue was subsequently abated. While there have been no recorded civilian injuries from fire incidents at this address, there was a response to a wrong location call in this vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1650 Kirkwood 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.
