Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 571 26th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1979 and currently owned by the Go Family Irrevocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. The most recent major renovation was a comprehensive kitchen remodel completed in 2017, which included new cabinets and countertops, along with associated plumbing and electrical work, costing approximately $6,800. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to essential systems, with documented reroofing work in 1990, 1997, and 2006, and the installation of vinyl siding on the sidewalls in 1997. Earlier improvements include bathroom tile replacement in unit #2 and a kitchen remodel in 1997, both of which were properly permitted, as well as the construction of a retaining wall and fence in 1987.

The property has experienced recurring issues with vehicles blocking its driveway, particularly between 2021 and 2022, with multiple citations and at least one vehicle being towed as a result. There were ten parking enforcement incidents recorded in this period, with varying outcomes including citations issued, vehicles unable to be located, and one tow. The building itself has had minimal regulatory issues, with only one routine housing inspection complaint in 2001, which was promptly resolved the same day. All historical permits, including several expired permits from 1997, have either been completed or resolved, showing proper compliance with city regulations.

Risk rating

How 571 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, 585 are predicted to be safer.
