Initial analysis

The property at 3742-3748 26th Street in Noe Valley is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Gregory J. Rocca. The building's permitted work history shows several significant improvements, including a major renovation in 2000 that involved replacing 60 windows, updating kitchen cabinets, and repairing the side fence, with a recorded cost of $20,000. Earlier improvements include deck construction at the rear in 1987 and window and kitchen cabinet modifications in 1986 (though this permit expired before completion, it was later finalized under a different permit). The building underwent routine housing inspections in 1996, 2001, and 2007, with no active violations noted.

Recent activity around the property (from 2024) has primarily involved external issues rather than building-specific concerns. The surrounding area has experienced repeated instances of garbage and debris, with multiple cases of abandoned furniture and loose garbage reported and subsequently resolved by city services. There have also been several reports of encampments in the vicinity (October 2024), though these were addressed by public works and referred to other agencies. A billing matter with the Public Utilities Commission was resolved with no further action required. The presence of these external issues suggests ongoing challenges with the immediate neighborhood environment, though these do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 3742-3748 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
26th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1390 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 37.2%
Moderate concern 18.0%
Severe concern 44.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
