Initial analysis

The 2-unit residential building at 1383-1385 26th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood is a relatively modern structure, built in 2003. The property, currently owned by the Fong-Martin Linda Revocable Living Trust, consists of three units and has undergone several significant renovations since its construction. Most notably, in August 2023, the building received a substantial upgrade with the replacement of 35 windows on all sides, costing $100,000, along with exterior siding work and ceiling repairs totaling $40,000. This work appears to address both aesthetic and energy efficiency concerns, as indicated by the installation of new wood-clad windows with a U-value of 0.3 max.

The building has experienced various maintenance and safety-related issues over its history, with the most recent being a complaint filed in July 2023 regarding holes in walls, water damage, and black mold, which was abated by March 2024. This complaint was part of a pattern of interior surface issues, including concerns about damaged paint and potential lead hazards. The property underwent significant interior improvements during its early years, including the remodeling of three kitchens and bathrooms in 2003, along with electrical upgrades completed that same year. Historical records show some initial construction aspirations in 2001 for a one-story addition, but those plans expired. The building's maintenance history includes regular routine inspections and prompt responses to identified violations, with most issues being resolved within reasonable timeframes. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external matters such as sidewalk parking violations and general street cleaning needs, though these issues are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 1383-1385 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.
