Initial analysis

The property at 10 Dixie Alley in Noe Valley is a multi-family residential building owned by Tony Dongling Liu, which was converted to a two-family dwelling in 1962 according to records. The building has undergone significant improvements, most notably between 2018-2019, when substantial renovations were performed including kitchen and bathroom remodels in both units, window replacements, deck improvements, and the addition of a master bathroom on the second floor. This period also saw the installation of a roof-mounted solar system, electrical system upgrades including a 200-amp service upgrade, and comprehensive plumbing work. Earlier maintenance records from 2003 show repairs to a wood deck structure due to dry rot, and a roofing project was completed in 2000.

Recent concerns from 2023-2024 have primarily involved external maintenance issues including an overgrown tree (open as of September 2023), street lighting problems, and graffiti, though these do not directly impact the building's interior conditions. The property has had minimal disturbance history, with no fire incidents recorded apart from a water or steam leak situation with no civilian injuries. The extensive renovations completed in 2018-2019 suggest proactive maintenance of the building's core systems, with particular attention to energy efficiency through solar installation and electrical upgrades. While there have been various neighborhood service requests and parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, these appear to be routine urban management matters affecting the street and surrounding area rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 10 Dixie Aly'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
90th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 188 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.6%
Moderate concern 12.0%
Severe concern 3.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
