Initial analysis

The property at 1400 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a 10-unit, 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1925, currently owned by the Gee Martial Trust. The building has undergone significant structural improvements in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 with a total investment of $130,000 for both the residential and commercial components. The building has received various updates to improve safety and accessibility, including electrical system upgrades in 2020 with a new 400-amp service installation and the replacement of multiple electrical components, as well as stair repair work in 2020 to address dry rot issues.

The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues that have required attention over the years. In 2004, multiple violations were recorded regarding fire safety, including problems with fire escape accessibility, damaged paint potentially posing lead hazards, and fire sprinkler requirements, all of which were subsequently abated. More recent building maintenance work includes structural improvements such as additional plywood shearwalls and hardy panels along 10th Avenue, as well as plumbing updates including a water heater replacement in 2014. The building has been actively maintained, with routine inspections and necessary repairs being documented through building complaints and permits. Recent 311 calls (from 2023-2024) show primarily exterior issues such as sidewalk cleaning and general maintenance matters, though these are typical for urban environments and do not indicate any structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1400 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.

Neighborhood percentile
