Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 475-481 10th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by the Susan K Breed Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various challenges since its construction in 1913. Recent concerns include two complaints in November 2023 regarding improper paint removal procedures potentially creating lead hazards, though these complaints are now inactive. The building has a history of maintenance and improvement work, including a $13,800 hallway bathroom remodel in 2018 (including new plumbing fixtures and electrical work), a sewer replacement in 2015, and window replacements in 2011-2013 involving upgrades from wood to fiberglass wood-clad materials. Historical issues were documented in 2003, when multiple violations were recorded regarding interior surfaces, including repairs needed for window sashes, weatherproofing on siding, floor coverings, walls, drainage pipes, and heating systems, along with concerns about lead paint. The building has undergone various structural and maintenance work over the years, including reroofing projects in 2010 and 1993, concrete wall inspections in 2002, and multiple window upgrades. Several 311 calls have been made regarding the property, primarily relating to external issues such as sidewalk defects, illegal postings, and parking concerns, but none indicating direct building maintenance or habitability problems. While the building has experienced periods of maintenance and some habitability concerns, recent improvements suggest ongoing attention to building upkeep, though the recent paint removal incidents raise questions about proper maintenance procedures.

Risk rating

How 475-481 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.
