Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 327 10th Street in South of Market, owned by Tahir Karim, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past decades, with the most recent being an issued reroofing permit in March 2024 costing $13,200. Historical records show various repairs including treatment of dry rot in 1999, removal of non-load bearing interior wood in 1991, and front step repairs in 1986. A smoke detector activation with no actual fire was recorded as the only fire-related incident, with no civilian injuries.

The building and surrounding area have experienced several maintenance and cleanliness challenges in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024. The property has been subject to multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk and street cleaning issues, including three instances of general cleaning needs (February and December 2023), and hazardous materials (glass) in November 2023. There have been recurring incidents of graffiti on the commercial portion of the building, with six reported cases between May 2023 and October 2023, though most were resolved and removed. The most recent incident involved medical waste (needles) in May 2024, which was promptly addressed by the owner. Additionally, there are some unresolved issues remaining from 2023, including an open case related to street defects from July 2023.

Risk rating

How 327 10Th 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
94th percentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 26 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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 78.5%
Moderate concern 13.0%
Severe concern 8.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
