Initial analysis

10 Glendale Street is a three-story, 11-unit multi-family residential building located in the Twin Peaks neighborhood, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Herscowitz Lvg Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges over recent years, most notably a fire incident in 2018 that caused extensive damage to multiple floors and several units, requiring comprehensive repairs completed in 2019 including electrical, plumbing, and structural work. The building completed its mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program requirements, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status, with final upgrades to the fire alarm system implemented in 2023.

Recent maintenance and improvement activities have focused on unit upgrades and safety compliance, including the conversion of several units (102, 204, 308, 307, and 411) from kitchens to bedrooms or studies, bathroom rehabs, and installation of in-unit laundry facilities between 2021-2024. Significant concerns have emerged regarding building systems, including an active complaint about a non-functioning elevator filed in November 2024, recent issues with raw sewage backup in November 2023, and multiple electrical problems reported in May 2023 related to circuit breakers and wiring. The building's common areas and safety systems have received attention, with recent work including a new roof deck railing installation (2022), car port re-stuccoing (2023), and various fire safety improvements. Multiple violations related to building safety, including fire escape maintenance and utility shutoff requirements, were recorded in early 2024, though their current status is marked as "Not active." While many recent permits and complaints have been resolved, attention to building systems and maintenance continues to be a priority, as evidenced by ongoing complaints and work orders.

Risk rating

How 10 Glendale 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.

Neighborhood percentile
3th percentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 167 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.

Building size

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Number of units

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 18.1%
Moderate concern 56.4%
Severe concern 25.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
