Initial analysis

The Chun Family Trust owns this 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located at 569 26th Ave in the Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1979. The property has undergone substantial renovation work in recent years, including a complete reroofing project in 2021 (cost: $39,000) and a comprehensive bathroom remodel in 2020 (cost: $45,000), during which two bathrooms were renovated with new fixtures, including toilets, sinks, and showers. More recently, in December 2023, repairs were completed in Unit 2 to address code violations related to bathroom fixtures, including the replacement of a bathtub fixture and repair of associated drywall and tile work (cost: $10,000).

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, most notably in 2019-2020 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with the heating system, lead paint hazards, mildew, damaged plumbing fixtures, and kitchen maintenance issues. These violations were eventually resolved by October 2019. A concerning pattern of water-related issues has emerged, with complaints in 2020 regarding water leaks affecting electrical systems, and more recent complaints in 2023 about bathroom fixtures and range hood problems. The property has also undergone significant electrical work, including panel relocation and bathroom renovations in 2020, and has had routine inspections and compliance requirements, as evidenced by various permits and inspection records. Recent violations from 2023 indicated non-compliance with smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm requirements, though these issues were presumably addressed during the subsequent repair work. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to both preventative upgrades and reactive repairs to address emerging issues, though some problems have required multiple interventions to achieve resolution.

Risk rating

How 569 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.
