Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1926 multi-family residential building at 1938 10th Avenue in Golden Gate Heights, owned by Lauren Catherine Turetsky L, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past two decades. Between 1996 and 2012, major systems were updated, including a complete reroofing in 1996, an underground electrical service conversion to 150 amp with two meters in 2003, and the installation of two high-efficiency forced air furnaces with new vent flues and condensate drains in 2012. The building experienced a drainage issue in 2002 when complaints were filed regarding inadequate control and drainage of surface water in the front yard, which was resolved by February 2003.

Recent activity at the property has generated various municipal service responses, particularly in 2024, including two sewage back-up discharge incidents (one in August and one in October, with the August incident showing water level issues in a trap), multiple reports of abandoned vehicles (though vehicles were gone upon inspection), and several other service requests such as tree maintenance, sidewalk blockage, and parking violations. The most recent concern, as of October 2024, involves an overgrown tree situation that remains unresolved. While these recent incidents primarily relate to external property and street issues rather than building-specific problems, they do indicate ongoing challenges with drainage and sewer systems in the vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 1938 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
66th percentile

Out of 32 buildings in this neighborhood, 11 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Neighborhood location

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 65.3%
Moderate concern 21.7%
Severe concern 13.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
