Initial analysis

478 26th Avenue is a three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. The property, owned by Nathan N. Yue and Oi Yung, was constructed in 1988 following the demolition of previous apartments in September 1986, with its construction permit issued in May 1986. The building underwent a significant reroofing project in August 2007, costing approximately $17,000, which was completed successfully. The most recent documented modification to the property's street space occurred in October 2012, though this involved only a nominal cost of $1.

The building's maintenance and safety record appears generally stable, with only one routine housing inspection complaint filed in June 2000 and promptly abated by the same date. While the property has experienced minimal issues over the years, there was a parking enforcement call in September 2019 regarding a blue VW Beetle blocking a driveway, though officers were unable to locate the vehicle when they responded. None of these incidents suggest any ongoing concerns about the building's condition or management, particularly given the substantial gap in reported issues since 2000.

Risk rating

How 478 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
