Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 303-311 26th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by George T Choppelas 2000 Trust, has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades over recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, the building completed a major electrical upgrade, installing a new 100-amp overhead electrical service with meter, main disconnect, and updated grounding system. The plumbing system has also seen considerable investment, with recent improvements including the installation of a hydronic boiler (December 2023), laundry facilities (September 2022), waste line replacement (August 2021), and a water heater replacement (April 2013). The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to rooftop upkeep, with reroofing projects completed in 1994 and 2000, though these permits have since expired.

Recent months have seen multiple 311 calls related to garbage and debris issues in the vicinity of the building, particularly between July and December 2024, with recurring reports of abandoned furniture and overflowing waste. While many of these cases have been resolved, the frequency of such incidents suggests ongoing challenges with waste management in the area. Additionally, there was one flooding incident related to street sewer infrastructure in November 2024, which was also resolved. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 2003 and 2008, both of which were completed without any noted ongoing concerns. The property management has demonstrated investment in maintaining and upgrading essential systems, as evidenced by the recent major improvements to both electrical and plumbing infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 303-311 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

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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 58.9%
Moderate concern 27.6%
Severe concern 13.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
