Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, 691-695 10th Avenue is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1913, containing four residential units above commercial space. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including a notable renovation in 2014-2015 that encompassed kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades (including a 200A service upgrade), and the installation of new water heating systems. More recently, in 2022, the building completed accessibility improvements through the installation of power swing door operators and handicap buttons.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its commercial storefront, with the most recent violation filed in August 2023 regarding compliance with the Vacant or Abandoned Commercial Storefront Ordinance, though this was abated by November 2023. Previous concerns included multiple complaints about an illegal basement unit in 2014, which was reportedly addressed. The property has also undergone various maintenance work, including reroofing in 2002 and window modifications in 2014. While there have been some investigative actions by housing and fire inspection services in the past, there have been no significant safety incidents reported in recent years. The owner, Li Tao, has participated in tenant buyout agreements at the property, with recorded buyouts in 2020 and 2021.

Risk rating

How 691-695 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.
