Initial analysis

The building at 184-186 10th Avenue is a two-story, 7-unit multi-family residential structure located in the Lake--Presidio neighborhood. Built in 1922 and currently owned by Survivors Trust The Credit, this apartment building has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2023-2024, there was an important electrical system upgrade with the installation of 200-amp service due to a fire-related issue, marking one of the more serious safety-related events on record. The property has seen substantial maintenance and improvements, including a comprehensive renovation in 2013 involving kitchen and bathroom updates, and in 2009, there were significant structural upgrades including the installation of steel diagonal bracing and ordinary moment frame ($45,000), complete reroofing ($14,000), and replacement of 26 aluminum windows ($55,000).

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure, with permits for sidewalk repairs, street space usage, and minor structural work including dry rot repairs to exterior stairwell components (though this last permit expired in 2002). Recent activity in 2024 has primarily involved municipal service calls for various street maintenance issues including garbage management, tree maintenance, and graffiti removal, indicating ongoing attention to the building's surroundings. While there was one recorded fire-related incident (a false alarm), no civilian injuries were reported. The property has maintained compliance with basic maintenance requirements, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of 311 calls and completion of various building permits, though the recent electrical upgrade suggests there may have been prior electrical system concerns that necessitated this important safety-related improvement.

Risk rating

How 184-186 10Th 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.

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 size

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

Number of units

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

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 40.5%
Moderate concern 40.1%
Severe concern 19.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
