Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 733 26th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Tony M K Louie and Mei Sheung, has undergone several significant structural and system improvements since its construction in 1987. The property has a documented history of foundation work in 1989, including both repairs and a subsequent raising of the foundation on the right side, indicating attention to maintaining structural integrity. More recent improvements include the installation of a new heat pump water heater and an upgraded electrical panel system in March 2024, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and modernization of building systems. The building has also benefitted from sustainable upgrades, most notably the installation of a 5.6 kW solar system with 16 PV modules in February 2022.

The property has experienced various maintenance and service issues over the years, including historical foundation work in the 1980s and a cancelled sprinkler installation. The surrounding area has seen numerous parking-related incidents, with several illegal parking complaints between 2019 and 2023, though these were primarily issues with vehicles on public streets rather than directly impacting the property. A tree root issue was reported in May 2022 regarding a sidewalk tree, which was inspected and completed in August 2023, and there was one case of abandoned vehicle reporting in 2012. The building has maintained a reasonable record of safety and compliance, with no recent permits or violations indicating urgent repairs or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 733 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
75th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 562 are predicted to be safer.
