Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 10 Argent Alley in Twin Peaks, owned by Gaehwiler Family LLC, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some safety issues over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $120,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Between 2020-2021, the property underwent comprehensive electrical system upgrades, replacing outdated Federal Pacific panels in all twelve units, indicating attention to resident safety and modern infrastructure needs. The building has also received other essential improvements, including window replacements (2018, $60,000) and maintenance of exterior elements such as decks, though some older permits from 1998-1999 for reroofing and deck repairs expired without record of completion.

Recent history shows mixed maintenance and safety performance, with several concerning incidents and violations. In 2023, the building received a fire violation related to exit signage that was later abated, and in June 2023, there was a documented issue with exit maintenance that resulted in a violation. A cluster of garbage and debris issues in late 2024, including reports of human waste and abandoned furniture, suggests ongoing challenges with site cleanliness and maintenance of surrounding areas. The building's inspection history includes multiple routine inspections between 1996-2008, and while most historical fire extinguisher violations from 2000 were promptly addressed, their recurrence indicates prior oversight in safety equipment maintenance.

Risk rating

How 10 Argent 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

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 103 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 38.9%
Moderate concern 37.3%
Severe concern 23.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
