Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 610 San Bruno Ave in Potrero Hill, owned by Danny Ho Yin Chan, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1910. The property has a documented history of water-related issues, with multiple violations related to leaks and water damage recorded in 2001-2002, including concerns about building foundation stability, damaged walls, and electrical safety. Between 2004 and 2015, various renovation attempts were made, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, electrical system upgrades, and a garage door installation. Notably, a substantial kitchen renovation project for unit 610A was proposed in 2015 with an estimated cost of over $27,000, though this permit was ultimately cancelled. The building has experienced recurrent maintenance issues, particularly during 2024, with multiple 311 service requests for structural maintenance, graffiti, garbage management, and lighting problems. Recent inspections and maintenance calls suggest ongoing concerns with basic building systems and exterior maintenance, though many complaints from previous decades have been resolved. The property has undergone various electrical upgrades, including the installation of new circuits and a 100A sub-panel in 2004, and has addressed multiple building code violations over the years, particularly those related to lead paint hazards and water damage.

Risk rating

How 610 San Bruno Ave'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
71th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 211 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 age

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

Neighborhood location

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Severe concern 6.5%
