Initial analysis

The property at 1426 Newcomb Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Elizabeth Leslie Chase Revo. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a proposed window replacement project filed in June 2022, aimed at replacing non-historic aluminum windows with energy-efficient wood windows on the south and east sides, while restoring the original trim. The property has a history of substantial structural work, including multiple foundation-related projects between 1997 and 2009, with the most significant foundation replacement occurring in 2004-2008 at a cost of $35,000, followed by the installation of grounding and other electrical improvements. The building received a new roof and gutters in 2020, representing a $22,000 investment in maintenance.

Recent concerns regarding the property's condition include an active blight complaint filed in May 2024 regarding peeling paint on the front and side of the building. The surrounding area has experienced multiple maintenance issues in late 2024, including several reports of graffiti and garbage debris that have been generally resolved, along with a sewage discharge incident from the side sewer vent in December 2024 that was investigated and determined to have no issues in the lower lateral. The building's electrical system has been updated with improvements such as a new 200 amp panel and conversion from overhead to underground service between 2005 and 2009. A tenant buyout was recorded in August 2021 for a neighboring property at 1400 Newcomb Avenue, involving one tenant and totaling $27,000.

Risk rating

How 1426 Newcomb 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

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 321 are predicted to be safer.
