Initial analysis

The three-unit apartment building at 26 Hill Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a two-story multi-family residential structure built in 1900 and currently owned by Chelsea Miller. The property has undergone substantial renovation and upgrade work since 2018, including a significant project in 2018-2020 that expanded and developed existing ground floor space, installed new heating systems, updated electrical infrastructure to 400-amp service, and replaced critical safety features like rear stairs and guardrails. Several building code compliance issues were addressed through multiple permits, including window repairs, landscape work, and rear facade modifications. The building's systems have been extensively upgraded, with new high-efficiency furnaces installed in 2019-2022, comprehensive electrical rewiring, and various plumbing improvements including the installation of new bathrooms and kitchen facilities.

The property has a history of regulatory scrutiny, with multiple permits issued to rectify past unpermitted work discovered during inspections in 2010 and 2018. Building violations recorded in 2010 were related to safety and maintenance issues, including combustible storage, fire extinguisher requirements, and weatherproofing concerns, all of which were subsequently abated. A tenant buyout occurred in 2017, involving one tenant receiving $62,600 and two tenants receiving $40,000, suggesting a significant rehabilitation period followed. Recent work as of 2023 includes final inspections and approvals for various improvements, indicating compliance with current building codes and standards. Despite earlier complaints about unpermitted work and building modifications, all known violations have been addressed through proper permitting and inspections, including the most recent electrical upgrades completed in mid-2023.

Risk rating

How 26 Hill 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, 728 are predicted to be safer.
