Initial analysis

Located in Noe Valley, 3632 26th St is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Str 26 Llc. The property has undergone numerous renovations and repairs over the past several decades, with significant work completed in recent years. Most notably, there was a fire incident in 2019 requiring substantial repairs ($20,000) to unit 2 and common areas, with the final inspection completed in August 2023. The building has seen multiple unit rehabs, including a 2017 bathroom remodel and deck repair in unit 4 ($66,000), and various plumbing, electrical, and safety upgrades. Recent improvements include relocation of the subpanel from storage to hallway (2023) and completion of fire extinguisher corrections (2023).

The building has faced several challenges over its history, including a series of complaints in 2020 regarding unauthorized late-night construction work, welding, and associated noise disturbances that extended into the early morning hours. These issues have been marked as not active but indicate prior concerns about work being conducted beyond the scope of permits. In 2013, there was a complaint regarding unpermitted remodeling work in units 3 and 4, though subsequent permits were obtained for the renovations. The property has also experienced periodic fire safety issues, with violations in 2001 related to combustible storage, egress obstructions, and smoke detector requirements, though these were promptly abated. Recent inspections have shown generally improving conditions, with routine maintenance and updates being performed regularly.

Risk rating

How 3632 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
