Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 2626 Union Street in Cow Hollow was constructed in 1907 and is currently owned by Daniel L Glaubiger Exemptio. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most notable being a comprehensive top-floor apartment renovation completed in 2021, which included kitchen modernization and electrical upgrades including LED lighting and circuit panel replacement. The building's infrastructure improvements are substantial, including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2003, plumbing system modernization with new house trap installation and sewer line replacement in 2018, and various fire safety enhancements including fire alarm system installation and sprinkler system work in the early 2000s.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over its history, with the most recent concerns being related to sewer infrastructure, as evidenced by a sewage backup incident in September 2021 and ongoing issues noted in October 2021. A routine inspection in 2004 revealed multiple violations related to fire safety, gas utility requirements, and building systems, though these were all resolved by October 2004. The property has also had some minor issues with parking and street access, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding driveway blocking between 2019 and 2025, and has required temporary moving-related parking permits in 2019 and 2020. While there was one recorded fire incident involving smoke detector activation, there were no injuries or actual fire damage reported. The building's most recent routine inspection record dates back to 2011, and there are currently active 311 complaints as of 2024-2025 regarding public works and parking issues near the property.

Risk rating

How 2626 Union 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

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 594 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 age

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.1%
Moderate concern 16.4%
Severe concern 22.5%
