Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 1010 Ashbury Street was constructed in 1961 and is currently owned by Sherman N H Wong and Shou Yin. The property has undergone several significant maintenance projects over the years, including a window replacement in 2016, reroofing work in 2004 (permit expired) and 1991, and various repairs to address building violations. Notably, in August 2016, multiple issues were documented, including problems with mold in bathrooms and kitchens, rodent infestation, roof access concerns, and blocked means of egress. These violations resulted in several required corrections, including window repairs, smoke enclosure door repairs, and refrigerator replacement, which were documented as completed by February 2017.

More recent inspections in November 2022 are marked as routine, and there have been consistent reports regarding waste management issues, specifically regarding toters being left out continuously, with multiple reports between February 2023 and April 2024. A notable past complaint in 2000-2001 involved multiple safety violations that were eventually abated, including requirements for fire extinguisher recharge, gas utility shutoff tools, and security improvements. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety issues, though some concerns, such as the recent waste management problems, appear to be ongoing.

Risk rating

How 1010 Ashbury St'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.
