Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 475 26th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1992, currently owned by the Holy Virgin Community of SF. The property's history reveals significant construction activity in the mid-2000s, particularly in 2004-2007, when permitted work focused on shoring plans for the north property line and related construction activities. During this period, multiple complaints were filed (August-October 2006) regarding the building's height exceeding permitted limits, with concerns about construction going beyond approved plans and permit expirations - though these complaints were ultimately abated. Most recently, a plumbing permit from January 2024 indicates work was performed to remove and replace an existing house trap.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety-related issues over the years, with the most recent significant work being the plumbing update earlier this year. Historical records show multiple street-related incidents near the property, including three parking violations between 2018-2024 (illegal parking, driveway blocking, and sidewalk parking), though in each case, responding officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. There were also two reports of pavement defects in January 2015 that were subsequently addressed. Other issues, such as graffiti on a pole (2010) and hazardous materials (2018), were resolved by city agencies. While the building's major construction phase appears to have been completed, with no recent building permits on file, the property continues to experience typical urban maintenance issues common to the neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 475 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 405 are predicted to be safer.
