Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 128-130 10th Avenue, located in the Lake-The Presidio neighborhood, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1906. The most recent major mechanical upgrade occurred in March 2022, with the installation of a 70,000 BTU furnace in the garage, replacing the old unit like-for-like. The building's electrical system received attention in October 2006 with a complete 200-amp service upgrade, enhancing its power capacity. A notable exterior improvement was completed in May 2010, involving the replacement of 11 street-visible windows with new Marvin wood clad windows, representing a substantial investment in the building's appearance and energy efficiency.

The property has experienced various maintenance and service events over the past several years, including a sewage backup issue in April 2019 that was promptly addressed by the PUC Sewer Operations team. Recent municipal service interactions have primarily involved street-related issues, including multiple parking enforcement cases, tree maintenance requests, and temporary moving sign requests, indicating ongoing attention to the building's surroundings and access issues. The building's historical records show less frequent but necessary infrastructure maintenance, including a reroofing project from 1994, though this permit has since expired. The property has generally been well-maintained, with most recent permits focusing on system upgrades rather than emergency repairs, suggesting regular upkeep by the management.

Risk rating

How 128-130 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.
