Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 26 Clement Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Michiko Kaneshima Tr, was constructed in 1903 and contains three residential units with ground-floor retail space. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a complete roof replacement in September 2024 at a cost of $10,000, electrical panel replacement in November 2024, and plumbing upgrades including sewer and house trap replacement in June 2021. The building underwent important seismic safety improvements in 2018 with a voluntary soft-story upgrade and associated demo work costing approximately $51,500.

The property has experienced various maintenance challenges over its history, with notable issues documented in 2000 including security violations, roof weatherproofing problems, and stair repairs, though these were all abated by April 2000. More recent concerns include a commercial gym complaint in March 2020 regarding noise impacting residential units, and multiple street space permits issued between 2018-2019. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with the most recent work focusing on roofing and electrical systems. Recent 311 calls have primarily related to exterior maintenance and street conditions, including graffiti removal (2021), sidewalk defects (2018), and street cleaning issues (2023). The property appears to be actively maintained, with no current building violations or unsafe conditions on record.

Risk rating

How 26 Clement 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.
