Initial analysis

3620 26th Street is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1953 and currently owned by Arnold M & Margo B Miller 2. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a comprehensive electrical upgrade in October-November 2023, which included installing new 60A panels for each unit and upgrading the electrical service to 200A with 4 unit meters and 1 house meter. This followed the completion of rear exterior stairs repairs in 2009 and window replacements in 2006. The building has maintained regular upkeep, including two roofing projects (1989 and 1998) and a compliance update in 1984.

The property has experienced two routine housing inspections (2001 and 2009) which resulted in several violations, all of which were subsequently addressed and abated. These included requirements for gas shutoff tools, fire extinguishers, gas meter instructions, and self-closing exterior doors. There have been two fire-related incidents recorded: a building fire in the past (date unspecified) caused by equipment or heat source failure, and a smoke detector malfunction. Recent 311 calls (2021-2024) primarily relate to street maintenance issues such as tree pruning, pavement defects, and sewer-related concerns, with the most recent calls in December 2024 regarding abandoned furniture. The building's management has generally demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements and infrastructure maintenance, though the age of the building and its systems has necessitated ongoing updates and repairs over the years.

Risk rating

How 3620 26Th 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
33th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1259 are predicted to be safer.
