Initial analysis

The 4-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 10 Brooklyn Place, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by the Wai John E 1981 Lvg Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced numerous maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, in August 2023, Unit 1 received substantial improvements including an interior remodel, new bathrooms, kitchen relocation, bedroom closet installations, and corresponding electrical and plumbing upgrades, with the work continuing into 2024 with a sewer trap replacement. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with plumbing and water concerns, evidenced by both historical violations and more recent complaints about water leaking in the backyard (December 2024) and garbage management issues (September 2023).

Historically, the building has faced multiple fire safety violations and concerns between 2015 and 2024, including issues with fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and egress obstructions, though most have been addressed through corrective actions. The property has a documented history of water-related problems, including past sewage leak complaints (2010) and persistent leak issues reported in multiple years (2006 and 2024). The building underwent a parapet safety program in 1984, which was completed. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2025 show ongoing concerns with garbage management and general maintenance, though many of these were resolved or closed by city services. The building's fire incident history shows multiple system activations and false alarms, though no serious fires or injuries have been recorded.

Risk rating

How 10 Brooklyn Pl'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
35th percentile

Out of 145 buildings in this neighborhood, 94 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 26.1%
Moderate concern 53.4%
Severe concern 20.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
