Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 377 26th Ave in the Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1968 and is currently owned by Anthony Lee. The building underwent significant remodeling work in 2007, including a $24,000 renovation of Unit #1's kitchen, bathroom, and electrical systems, and a $15,000 renovation of Unit #3's kitchen and bathroom facilities, both of which included associated plumbing and electrical upgrades. A reroofing project was completed in 2008 at a cost of $5,900. However, the most pressing recent issues involve serious health concerns, with multiple mold complaints filed in October 2024 regarding significantly elevated levels of aspergillus/penicillium in Unit 2's bathroom and front bedroom. These complaints are particularly concerning given their recency and potential impact on resident health, though they were noted as "Not Active" in the system.

The building's historical inspection and incident record shows regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1996, 2003, and 2005, none of which revealed any noted violations. Two fire-related incidents were recorded in the building's history: one for public service assistance (nature unspecified) and another for a malfunctioning smoke detector, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries. The property has experienced various local neighborhood issues typical for the area, including multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents in early 2020, and a recent garbage and debris complaint in September 2024. These external issues, while noteworthy, are standard for urban residential settings and do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions.

Risk rating

How 377 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
38th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1395 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 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 72.4%
Moderate concern 13.1%
Severe concern 14.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
