Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 24-26 Ford Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by the Michael Louis Blend Revocable Trust. The property underwent significant modernization in 2013, particularly with a substantial upper unit renovation costing $124,500 that added a bathroom and updated multiple living spaces, along with comprehensive plumbing and electrical work including bathroom and kitchen upgrades, furnace installation, and fireplace addition. Earlier improvements included window replacements in 2011 (costing $24,746) and deck repairs addressing dry rot issues in 2010 (totaling $11,500) following a complaint about a rotting deck's safety in 2010.

The building had a notable cluster of violations in January 2011 related to lead paint, weather sealing, and general maintenance issues, all of which were abated by September 2011. There was also a 2010 complaint about building work exceeding permit scope regarding deck modifications. More recent activity at the property has primarily involved routine maintenance and external issues, including multiple parking enforcement calls between 2021-2024 regarding blocked driveways and illegal parking. The property has experienced recurring tree-related concerns from 2022 onwards, with multiple reports of overgrown trees and property damage, though these were determined to be non-urgent and were referred to the city's StreetTreeSF program for future servicing.

Risk rating

How 24-26 Ford 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
60th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 511 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.1%
Moderate concern 13.2%
Severe concern 10.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
