Initial analysis

The Levy Family Trust's two-unit residential building at 10-12 Dodge Street in the Tenderloin, constructed in 1909, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning are the building's fire safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded between 2017 and 2025 involving alarm systems, fire escapes, extinguishers, and blocked exits. Notable recent fire safety incidents include violations in August 2023 for alarms, fire escape, and extinguishers, along with a similar violation in September 2022. The building has also experienced three documented fire incidents, most recently a building fire and a trash fire, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries.

The property has faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding sanitation and external maintenance, with multiple 311 calls throughout 2022-2023 reporting issues such as sewage backups, human waste cleanups, and graffiti removal needs. Recent plumbing issues include a December 2023 sewage backup incident. Though many of these external disruptions were promptly addressed by city services or the Tenderloin CBD clean team, they indicate ongoing challenges in building maintenance and neighborhood conditions. While the property has a documented history of addressing violations through corrective actions, including abating a set of violations in August 2023, the frequency and variety of issues suggest a persistent pattern of maintenance and safety challenges requiring ongoing attention.

Risk rating

How 10-12 Dodge St'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 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 2 are predicted to be safer.
