Initial analysis

The property at 874-876 27th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Yamagishi Tr. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects in recent years, including the replacement of old furnaces in both units and the installation of new ducting in 2022 (cost: $16,000), a complete reroofing in 2018 (cost: $15,100), and an electrical upgrade in 2009 that included increasing service to 125A and adding a third house meter for common areas. More recently, there have been some concerning incidents related to construction work, including a complaint in May 2022 regarding unpermitted work and possible asbestos removal, which was eventually abated by June 2022. Additionally, there was a noise complaint filed in December 2017 regarding construction work starting early in the morning.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with records indicating the property owner has invested in necessary systems upgrades, though some projects have generated noise complaints from neighbors. A tenant buyout occurred in December 2021, with two tenants receiving $80,000, suggesting the units may have been vacated during that period. While there have been three parking-related complaints near the property (two in 2020 and 2022), and a graffiti incident in 2023, these appear to be unrelated to the building's condition or management. The most recent building improvement was the garage door replacement project filed in December 2022, though its permit status remains listed as "Filed."

Risk rating

How 874-876 27Th 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.
