Initial analysis

The 2-unit multi-family residential building at 830 26th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood has experienced several significant events since its construction in 1928. The most serious incident occurred in January 2012 when the top floor suffered substantial fire and smoke damage, rendering that portion of the building uninhabitable and affecting neighboring structures. This incident required major repairs, including roof rafter reconstruction and interior restoration, with associated costs of $200,000. Following the fire, the building underwent comprehensive electrical work, including rewiring of the upper unit and an electrical fire survey, along with plumbing updates to the kitchen and bathroom. In 2022, the property received a significant upgrade with the installation of a 6.935 kW solar panel system including 19 modules, demonstrating the owner's investment in renewable energy.

The building has also faced some maintenance and neighborhood challenges in recent years. In June 2022, a complaint was filed regarding multiple tents and debris around the property, though this was ultimately resolved. There have been several documented instances of sidewalk parking violations near the property, with citations issued in March 2020. Additionally, the area has experienced recurring pavement defects, with multiple reports filed between 2015-2016, though these were addressed by the Department of Public Works. A graffiti complaint from 2017 was also documented, requiring removal due to its offensive nature. The property appears to have maintained compliance with building codes following the 2012 fire repairs, with no active violations on record.

Risk rating

How 830 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.
