Noe Valley, SF 94131 6563049 2 units · 3 fl · 1979

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1979
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 4153 26th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Mccormick Properties LLC, consists of two duplex-style units and was constructed in 1979. The building's history shows several parking-related incidents, with three documented cases of driveway blocking between 2020 and 2022, though in each case the responding officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. There was also one case of pavement defect reported in 2018 on the street adjacent to the property, which was addressed by the Department of Public Works. In terms of street cleanliness, there was one report of loose garbage in 2013 which was resolved by DPW. The property's planning records indicate several significant regulatory actions, including the issuance of CEQA clearance for two duplexes (each with two units) and three stories, as well as the approval of a variance for lot width and a lot line realignment legalization process, all of which have been marked as closed. These planning records suggest proper legal compliance and structural configuration of the building as a multi-family residential property.

Risk rating

How 4153 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
43rdpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1071 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
