Initial analysis

The property at 1601-1603 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit multi-family residential building with street-level commercial space, built in 1908 and currently owned by the Infant Development Center of San Francisco. The two-story building has undergone several important infrastructure improvements over the past three decades, most recently completing a re-roofing project ($17,000) and sewer lateral replacement in August 2024, demonstrating ongoing maintenance commitment. The property has received notable accessibility improvements, including the installation of a wireless doorbell in 2022 to enhance building entrance accessibility.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and safety concerns, with past improvements including a fence replacement in 2009 and a structural upgrade in 1993. Recent issues worthy of note include an open sidewalk defect reported in December 2024 related to tree root damage, which may be affecting both infrastructure and safety. The property has experienced recurring illegal parking issues in 2024, with multiple reports to parking enforcement, though most cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. There are also two open maintenance issues from 2023-2024 regarding tree root damage and sidewalk maintenance. The building's historical records indicate proper handling of permits through various city agencies, with specific attention to street space requirements in 2017 and past gas houseline extensions in 2011.

Risk rating

How 1601-1603 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
43th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 851 are predicted to be safer.
