Initial analysis

The 2-unit multi-family residential building at 318-320 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood has a documented history of significant events, particularly centered around a serious structure fire incident in February 2022. This fire, which originated from an adjacent building at 324 10th Avenue, rendered the property uninhabitable, resulting in the loss of gas and electricity services and the issuance of a Red Tag. Following the fire, substantial reconstruction work was undertaken in 2022, including a $160,000 project to comply with violation notices and upgrade the building to current codes, along with electrical rewiring of several key areas and installation of a 70-amp subpanel. The property, built in 1918, has undergone various maintenance and improvement work over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2022 costing $19,900, window replacements in 1998, and back stair repairs in 1994. More recent developments include a 311 call from October 2023 regarding construction equipment blocking a parking space, though this appears to be a separate property issue. While there have been some maintenance concerns in the past, such as peeling exterior paint in 2010 and unauthorized construction work in 2021, most significant issues have been addressed through proper permits and repairs, with the building currently maintaining proper compliance status following the major reconstruction efforts post-fire.

Risk rating

How 318-320 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.
