Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 426 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district was built in 1900 and is currently owned by the Peter Fealy Living Trust. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the past decade, including a gas line repair in 2017, heater replacement in 2013, and most recently, cabinet refinishing, flooring updates, and countertop replacement in August 2023 at a cost of $30,000. A construction-related complaint was filed in June 2023 regarding after-hours work without a permit, though this complaint was marked as not active in August 2023. The building has experienced two fire-related incidents in the past, both involving alarm system activation with no fire and water-related issues, though notably, there were two combustible materials complaints in 2010 and 2011 that were promptly corrected.

The property has a significant history of parking-related issues in the surrounding area, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021 and 2024, though these are not directly related to the building itself. Recent parking complaints include cases of sidewalk parking, double parking, and driveway blocking between 2023 and 2024. A construction noise complaint was filed in February 2023, which was closed due to lack of response from the Department of Public Works Bureau of Street Environment Services. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep through various permitted improvements, with proper resolution of safety concerns when they arise, such as the combustible materials issues from over a decade ago.

Risk rating

How 426 3Rd 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 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 241 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

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 79.1%
Moderate concern 15.8%
Severe concern 5.0%
