Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 120 10th Avenue, located in The Presidio neighborhood of San Francisco, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by the Rita Tong Revoc Trust. The property's maintenance history shows several significant works, including a complete reroofing project in 1991 and the installation of a new house trap and sewer line in 2019 due to a clay pipe break. Three building permits from the late 1980s are on record: a horizontal extension/room addition permit from 1987 that expired, a permit requiring reapplication for final inspection in 1988, and another from 1991; notably, a building complaint was filed in 2015 regarding the gas line being turned off during work related to a separate permit.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly in 2019 and 2022, when vehicles were reported blocking driveways. There were also two pavement defect complaints filed in 2020 and 2021, though these were related to street conditions rather than the building itself. The most recent building-related activity was a Shared Spaces request logged in December 2024. While the parking and street maintenance issues are worth noting, the building's major systems appear to have received appropriate attention, with the most recent significant infrastructure work being the 2019 sewer line replacement.

Risk rating

How 120 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.

Neighborhood percentile
39th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 403 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.8%
Moderate concern 14.6%
Severe concern 5.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
