Initial analysis

The property at 2201-2203 26th Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1938, currently owned by Shin Celeste J Trust. The building has undergone several significant works in recent years, including two major infrastructure improvements in early 2023 with the completion of a sewer lateral replacement and a gas houseline extension in September 2023. A historical records shows a reroofing project from 2003. The building faced multiple safety and code compliance issues in 2000-2002, which were all resolved by September 2000, including problems with fire safety equipment, emergency exits, garbage storage, and security features.

More recent building safety history shows three recorded incidents: a carbon monoxide incident, an unintentional alarm activation, and a building fire with no reported civilian injuries. There was also a fire-related complaint in 2022 that was corrected. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in early 2025, with multiple reports of garbage and debris, including furniture and appliances, and a currently open report of a collapsed sidewalk. These permit and violation records indicate ongoing property maintenance and safety program responsiveness, though the age of the building and history suggest periodic infrastructure improvements are necessary to maintain current safety standards. The property's recent activity suggests attention to both plumbing upgrades and cleaning up external issues, though there appear to be some ongoing sidewalk and environmental health matters requiring attention.

Risk rating

How 2201-2203 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
