Initial analysis

The property at 1622 10th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by Wai C & Frances J Kong Ab L. The building has a documented history of permit violations and unauthorized work, most notably regarding window installations. In late 2021 and early 2022, the owners undertook window replacement work that exceeded permitted scope, leading to two Notices of Violation (NOVs) for installing additional windows without proper planning or permits. These violations resulted in an active NOV (202287504) as of February 2022, with monitoring fees applying under SFBC 110A, Table 1A-K. A final warning letter regarding these violations was issued in November 2024, with a director hearing scheduled for December 3, 2024.

The property has undergone multiple permitted renovations, including a 2022 project to install a family room, bedroom, and bathroom on the first floor, along with kitchen remodeling and window replacements on the second floor. These improvements were accompanied by electrical and plumbing work, though some of these permits have since expired. Recent municipal activity at the property includes multiple garbage and debris complaints in late 2024, a building inspection request in November 2024, and separate complaints about an overgrown tree and sidewalk defect from August 2024. The building's planning records confirm the fiberglass windows installation requirement at the front of the property, with no other products permitted.

Risk rating

How 1622 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.
