Initial analysis

The 18-unit multi-family residential building at 463-473 26th Avenue, owned by Holy Virgin Cathedral Edwmn, was constructed in 2007 and is a 3-story structure with basement facilities. The building's initial construction phase saw significant safety infrastructure installed, including a full fire sprinkler system ($76,000) and a new fire alarm system ($18,000) in 2006, along with extensive electrical work encompassing various systems and components. Recent maintenance work was performed in February 2024, with the installation of new domestic hot water heaters, including a boiler and storage tank replacement. The building has experienced several fire safety inspections over the years, with some violations noted in 2016-2018 regarding hazardous materials, exit maintenance, and alarm systems, though most were promptly corrected. A current open violation from December 2023 concerns sleeping area requirements that remains unresolved as of October 2023.

The property has had recurring issues with street parking violations and sidewalk maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2018 and 2024, though these are primarily related to the surrounding public space rather than the building itself. There have been few actual fire incidents recorded at the property since its construction, with most responses being for false alarms, lock-outs, or medical assists, and featuring no reported civilian injuries. The building's infrastructure has undergone various modifications during its history, including revisions to storage and utility room configurations and the installation of two boilers and basement heaters in 2008. While the property has generally maintained its fire safety systems with regular inspections and updates, the most recent violation regarding sleeping area requirements in December 2023 suggests an area requiring attention.

Risk rating

How 463-473 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
2th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2205 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Construction type: wood frame

Wood-frame construction (type D) is the most common SF residential type and has specific maintenance risks.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 24.4%
Moderate concern 63.0%
Severe concern 12.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
