Initial analysis

The property at 866-868 26th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927. Significant renovations were undertaken in 2008, including the installation of vinyl siding on the back and sides of the building, as well as the replacement of nine windows, with both projects designed to improve energy efficiency and aesthetics without altering the building's structure. Earlier improvements from 2007 included the replacement of 18 windows with energy-efficient units. The building's interior received substantial updates in 2000, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, along with the installation of a new furnace. A horizontal addition was completed in 1999, expanding the building's footprint.

Recent concerns primarily involve parking-related issues, with multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents between 2021 and 2024, suggesting a continuing challenge with parking enforcement in the area. The most recent maintenance issue reported was regarding tree roots lifting the sidewalk, noted in September 2024, and a sewer vent issue was addressed in March 2021. The property owner has proposed to add a two-story deck in the required rear yard, though it is noted as "Closed - Approved" in the planning records. While the building appears to be generally well-maintained based on the permit history, the recurring parking issues and recent tree root concerns are notable points of attention.

Risk rating

How 866-868 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.
