Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 570 26th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by John T Nakabayashi Revoc Lv, was constructed in 1981 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over its history. Most notably, in April 2000, the building underwent a comprehensive fire safety inspection that revealed multiple violations including egress obstructions, combustible storage issues, smoke detector deficiencies, and fire proofing concerns. These violations were all successfully abated by June 19, 2000. Earlier, in late 1995, the building experienced serious roof issues with documented water leakage through electrical fixtures, though these were addressed by January 1996. A structural issue was also addressed in 2006 with chemical grouting work performed under existing footings, though this permit has since expired. More recently, in January 2023, there were two reports regarding tree maintenance, though one was determined to be at the wrong address, and a parking enforcement request in December 2021 was closed as invalid due to incomplete information. A fire alarm system complaint was filed in December 2008 but was found to have no merit by February 2009. All known building violations and major complaints have been resolved, with no active issues on record at this time.

Risk rating

How 570 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
89th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 248 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.

Number of units

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.5%
Moderate concern 13.2%
Severe concern 10.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
