Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 643-645 10th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Vincent C & Lisa S Tang Fam, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1915. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its history, with the most recent major work being a sewer line replacement in January 2022, including installation of a new 4-inch sewer line from the front building to the house trap. The building has received regular roof maintenance, with reroofing projects completed in both 2014 and 1991, demonstrating ongoing attention to basic infrastructure. In 1990, there were two notable construction projects performed simultaneously - a horizontal addition and repairs to the building's property line walls, indicating a period of significant structural improvement. The only recorded nuisance incident was in 2008, involving an abandoned vehicle complaint that was promptly resolved by the Department of Parking and Traffic, though this occurred on the street rather than being related to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 643-645 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.4%
Moderate concern 20.1%
Severe concern 9.5%
