Initial analysis

The Bensinger Revocable Trust owns this two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located at 22-26 Carson Street, which was constructed in 1913 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing project in 2009 costing $10,500, and substantial interior renovations to Unit 26 in 2008 involving plaster wall repairs, kitchen countertop replacement, and painting at a cost of $9,000. Historical maintenance work includes window repairs and exterior painting at the front of the building in 2003, foundation bolting completed in 1992, and house trap plumbing work completed in 2013. A construction without permit complaint was filed in 2003, though this issue was resolved by August of that year.

More recent building concerns include a sprinkler/standpipe system issue reported in August 2022, which was corrected by November 2022. The property has experienced ongoing parking-related challenges in the vicinity, with multiple 311 calls regarding illegal parking and abandoned vehicles between 2022 and 2024, though these are not direct reflections on the building's condition or management. A hazardous materials incident involving liquids was reported and resolved in April 2022. While the building's maintenance record shows regular improvements and repairs over the years, the most significant recent infrastructure work appears to be the sprinkler system correction in late 2022.

Risk rating

How 22-26 Carson St'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

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 907 are predicted to be safer.
