Parkside, SF 94116 2355008A 13 units · 2 fl · 1975

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2395 26Th Ave rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1975
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The property at 2395 26th Avenue is a two-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building located in the Parkside neighborhood. Built in 1975 and currently owned by Weston Real Properties LP, the building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. Most notably, in 2020, the building received a substantial $79,000 reroofing project, followed by several unit renovations in 2015-2016 that involved kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 11, with associated plumbing and electrical work. The building's mechanical systems were updated in 2022 with the installation of a new gas furnace and associated ducting.

The property has experienced recurring issues with its commercial ground floor space, including multiple complaints about vacant storefronts in 2018-2019 and several code violations in 2018 regarding unpermitted construction of metal stud walls and ventilation duct changes. These violations were ultimately addressed and resolved in 2019. The ground floor commercial space underwent permitted improvements in 2021 to accommodate a florist business, including the installation of ADA-compliant facilities. Recent tenancy improvements include the conversion of the commercial space from Business to Mercantile occupancy classification. The building has a history of fire safety inspections and corrections, with the most recent sprinkler system inspection occurring in 2023 and previous fire-related inspections in 2021 and 2022 showing "Condition Corrected" status. The property has also experienced recurring garbage and debris issues on the surrounding sidewalk, with multiple clean-up requests documented between 2024-2025, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2395 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
3rdpercentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 247 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
