Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2370 26th Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood, owned by Liu Sung Ming & Hsu Bing Bi, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1931. The building's maintenance record shows some attention to upkeep, with a reroofing project in 1996 and a first-floor toilet replacement and painting work completed in 1989. More recently, in January 2016, electrical upgrades were undertaken, including the installation of five 200-amp meter panels, though one related electrical permit for unit modifications was ultimately cancelled. A routine housing inspection in December 2001 was conducted and closed without any noted concerns.

The building has experienced a significant number of service calls and complaints in late 2024, primarily relating to street maintenance issues including multiple reports of garbage and debris, and parking enforcement matters such as vehicles blocking driveways and abandoned vehicles. While these recent incidents mostly pertain to street conditions rather than building-specific issues, they indicate some ongoing challenges with the immediate vicinity. A fire alarm system issue was documented and resolved in July-August 2007, representing the only recorded safety-related incident in the building's recent history. The property has also been involved in a tenant buyout situation at a nearby address (2300 26th Avenue) in November 2022, though this is not directly related to the current building's operations or conditions.

Risk rating

How 2370 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
62th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 97 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 50.1%
Moderate concern 17.7%
Severe concern 32.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
