Initial analysis

The property at 597-599 26th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a multi-family residential building constructed in 1919, currently owned by Alex Dabiza. The building underwent significant improvements between 2005-2008, including a major three-story horizontal addition to the rear completed in 2006 at a cost of $175,000. This period also saw extensive renovations to the first floor, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, along with substantial electrical upgrades including 200-amp service installation and comprehensive wiring work. A foundation issue was addressed in 2005 when underpinning work was required due to adjacent construction at 593-26th Avenue, which led to a building violation that was resolved by early 2006.

More recent maintenance includes the completion of minor stucco repairs in 2017 and the installation of new gas lines for a dryer in November 2021. The building's history shows proper response to safety concerns, with no active building violations or significant safety incidents on record. While there have been several 311 calls related to the property over the past five years, these primarily concerned exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti, tree pruning, and parking matters, rather than structural or safety concerns. Two fire-related incidents were recorded, both of which were minor with no civilian injuries reported. The property has maintained compliance with building codes, with all permit work properly completed and documented.

Risk rating

How 597-599 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.
