Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1635 10Th Ave rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1961

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1961
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The three-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1635 10th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood has undergone significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1961. The property completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2016 (Tier 3) and subsequently upgraded its fire alarm system to a wireless configuration. Between 2015-2017, the building underwent extensive rehabilitation, including the renovation of multiple units (4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) featuring kitchen and bathroom upgrades, while also adding washer/dryer hookups and replacing water heaters across different units. More recent improvements include a $29,000 reroofing project completed in 2022 and ongoing facade modifications to replace windows and siding.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly between 2013-2019, when multiple tenant complaints were filed regarding mold, inadequate heating, plumbing problems, and expired permits. Several units experienced maintenance challenges, including Unit 6's heating issues in 2013, water damage concerns, and general maintenance problems. While most violations have been resolved, the most recent complaints from 2019 cited concerns about inadequate soundproofing and privacy due to "poorly renovated" walls. The property has maintained regular compliance with fire safety requirements, with fire escape and roof access issues being promptly corrected in 2018, though a 2006 hazardous materials complaint resulted in "No Merit" findings.

Risk rating

How 1635 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
13thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1299 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
