Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1611 Kirkwood Avenue in the Bayview neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Singleton Grantland F&carme. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, including a complete roof replacement in 2019 (cost: $9,500), electrical meter panel replacement in 2018, and historical repairs for termite damage (1997) and fire damage (1984). The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple fire code violations documented, most recently in May 2024, which included four separate violations related to storage, extinguisher service, and permit requirements. The property has undergone three documented hoarding-related incidents between October 2018 and March 2019, and there was one recorded outside storage fire incident with undetermined cause, though fortunately with no civilian injuries.

The property has a concerning pattern of recent municipal service calls, particularly in January 2025, with multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring clean-up, including incidents involving yard waste and a refrigerator appliance. There have also been several parking enforcement issues on the sidewalk adjacent to the property, with two documented incidents in January 2025. A Shared Spaces-related concern regarding sidewalk obstruction, crosswalk visibility, and tripping hazards was fully abated in January 2025. Historical maintenance records show regular upkeep of the building's major systems, including reroofing projects in 1991 and 2019, suggesting ongoing attention to basic infrastructure needs.

Risk rating

How 1611 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 172 are predicted to be safer.
