Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 175 10th Ave, owned by Richard Moy, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1969. Most recently, in October 2023, Unit 4 received a substantial bathroom renovation costing $25,000, which included converting from a bathtub to a shower, installing new fixtures, and updating electrical components. Similarly, in December 2022, Apartment 1 was renovated at a cost of $34,000, encompassing kitchen and bathroom improvements with associated electrical work. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades over the years, including reroofing in 2017 ($7,500), and the installation of new vinyl windows in 2002 and 2003, replacing older aluminum windows from the 1980s. A water heater replacement was completed in 2008, demonstrating attention to essential infrastructure.

The building's safety history shows prompt resolution of minor issues, including a 2002 violation related to smoke detectors that was abated within weeks. There have been three routine housing inspections (1996, 2002, 2008) recorded in the system, none of which resulted in ongoing concerns. The property has experienced two sewer-related incidents (2010, 2016) that were resolved, and more recent maintenance appears focused on unit improvements rather than building-wide issues. Recent concerns include a garbage and debris complaint (resolved December 2024) and a sidewalk parking violation (September 2023), though these were external to the building itself. The most recent fire incident recorded was a service call with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 175 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
