Initial analysis

The Jesson Family Trust 2005 owns this three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 275 26th Avenue in the Lake-The Presidio neighborhood. Built in 1912, this flats and duplex-style property has undergone several significant structural and cosmetic improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2012, substantial foundation work was completed at a cost of $18,575 to address structural concerns before adjacent excavation work commenced, including slab jacking, installation of supports, and chemical grout injection. The building's plumbing infrastructure has been updated, with the replacement of the sewer lateral and water line in 2011 and 2007 respectively. Several interior improvements have been made, including kitchen remodeling projects in 1999 and the installation of internal stairs connecting the two lower stories in 1990. More recent work includes interior modifications in 2014 involving non-load bearing wall modifications and the installation of a pocket door. The property has experienced regular street space and sidewalk maintenance, with permits issued in 2014, 2015, and 2011.

The building's recent history shows minimal issues directly related to the property itself, with no reported habitability concerns or safety incidents on record. The only notable events in recent years have been three parking-related incidents: two citations for illegal parking in 2022 and 2023, and one report of an abandoned vehicle in 2014, none of which indicate any problems with the building's operations or condition. The property's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep and necessary infrastructure upgrades have been addressed promptly, with no significant maintenance gaps evident in the historical data.

Risk rating

How 275 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
56th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 290 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

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.8%
Moderate concern 24.1%
Severe concern 5.1%
