Initial analysis

195 26th Avenue is a three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922 and currently owned by the Manning Family Limited Partnership. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few years, with the most recent being a complete re-roofing project completed in December 2024 at a cost of $36,000. The property underwent mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017, with the final completion certification issued in 2023, which was a critical safety improvement required by San Francisco building codes. Major interior renovations have been performed in multiple units, including substantial upgrades to Units 4 and 5 in 2016-2017, encompassing kitchen, bathroom, and electrical system improvements totaling over $140,000. The building's infrastructure received attention through the replacement of all electrical panels in 2022 and complete window replacement with Milgard wood clad essence series windows in 2017.

Historical records show that the building faced several compliance issues in 2003, including fire safety violations related to fire extinguishers, smoke enclosure doors, and fire escapes, which were all resolved by September 2003. More recent concerns included a 2021 complaint regarding incomplete soft-story retrofit work and a 2023 complaint about unpermitted construction, though both matters have since been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including plumbing repairs, electrical upgrades, and prompt attention to fire alarm system issues, which have primarily consisted of false alarms or system malfunctions with no reported injuries. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement and street maintenance, suggesting minimal current building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 195 26Th 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
