Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 153-155 11th Avenue in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904 and currently owned by the Raymond & Betty Tong Family Trust. The building's maintenance record shows two significant structural improvements: in 2012, a complete reroofing project was undertaken at a cost of $14,800, and in 2002, the stairs and landings were replaced to meet current building code requirements, with that work costing $20,000.

The property has experienced several tree-related issues in recent years, with three documented cases between 2019 and 2021. These include instances of trees causing property damage through lifted sidewalk roots (reported May 2021, currently open), overgrown trees requiring pruning (October 2021, completed), and trees affecting the building's windows (March 2021, resolved). Other maintenance matters include a street and sidewalk cleaning issue involving loose garbage (August 2020, resolved) and an animal care service request (September 2019, scheduled and closed). While the building's documented history shows regular maintenance and code compliance updates, the recurring tree-related issues suggest ongoing landscape management challenges in the property's immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 153-155 11Th 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
41th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 389 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.6%
Moderate concern 15.5%
Severe concern 4.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
