Initial analysis

The two-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building at 732 26th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1954 and is currently owned by Jow Ben H & Gee S Revoc Tru. The property's maintenance record shows several significant works over the years, including a $9,000 reroofing project completed in 2007 and two street space permits issued in 2007 and 2015. A building inspection in 2002 revealed a violation related to the fire escape drop ladder, though this was promptly addressed within a month of being filed. More recently, there has been persistent parking enforcement activity around the property, with multiple reports between 2020 and 2023 concerning vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks. At least five citations have been issued for driveway blockages, with several involving the same vehicles repeatedly. A blue Mazda 3 appears to be particularly problematic, receiving multiple warnings and citations between 2020-2021 for sidewalk parking violations. While these parking issues suggest ongoing challenges with street access around the property, there are no documented safety concerns or building maintenance issues in recent years, and all historical building violations have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 732 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

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 49.5%
Moderate concern 29.4%
Severe concern 21.2%
