Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, 326 2nd Avenue is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1990, containing three units and currently owned by the Low 1991 Revocable Trust. The building's construction history shows a progression from a single-family dwelling (demolished in 1988) to its current configuration, which was completed in 1987-1989 with permits for fire sprinkler installation during construction. In 2003, significant maintenance work was performed to replace rotting siding on the rear and right side of the building, covering approximately 1,550 square feet.

The property has undergone several routine safety inspections over the years, including notable violations in October 2004 that required attention to multiple safety issues, including smoke detector installation, removal of egress obstructions, and electrical safety concerns. All these violations were promptly abated by November 2004. More recent inspections in 2015 suggest continued oversight of building safety standards, though there have been no major violations since 2004. The building's location has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking, particularly with vehicles blocking driveways, as documented in multiple 311 calls between 2017 and 2023, though these are not directly related to building conditions. A recent complaint from December 2023 regarding driveway blocking was among the most recent issues cited.

Risk rating

How 326 2Nd 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
81th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 327 are predicted to be safer.
