Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, is owned by Patrick and Delia Keenan and has been standing since 1908. The property underwent significant renovations in the early 2000s, including a major horizontal and vertical addition completed in 2005 that aimed to create a legal apartment with garage space. This construction phase was accompanied by substantial electrical upgrades, including the installation of a new 200-amp service and complete rewiring of the house in early 2003. The building's roof was replaced in 1995, and in 2010, a second address (426A) was officially assigned to the lower unit.

More recently, the property has had minimal documented issues, with the most significant concerns being parking-related incidents in 2023 (driveway blocking) and 2020 (sidewalk parking), both of which were resolved through enforcement action. Several 311 service requests between 2016-2020 related to street cleaning and maintenance issues outside the property, as well as reports of abandoned vehicles, though these were not directly related to the building's condition or operation. The most recent service request was submitted in February 2024 but was cancelled before resolution. The building's extensive permit history suggests proper maintenance and upgrading of core systems, with no major structural or safety issues reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 426 28Th 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
92th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 180 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.8%
Moderate concern 17.1%
Severe concern 4.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
