Initial analysis

Located in Noe Valley, this 3-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building at 3835-3837 26th Street was constructed in 1910 and is currently owned by the Jakatdar-shroff 2001 Trust. The property has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with major improvements completed in 2022 including comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels on both the first and second floors, installation of a radiant heat system, full electrical rewiring, and the addition of rooftop solar panels (10.25 kW system). Earlier renovations in 2005 included converting the roof to a roof deck with new parapet wall and railing.

The building has a documented history of construction violations from 2003-2005, including unauthorized conversion of units, unpermitted garage modifications, and improper building work without inspections. These violations were ultimately abated by April 2005. More recently, in October 2023, there was a complaint regarding unpermitted construction of back stairs off the roof deck, though this case is listed as not active. The property has maintained compliance since resolving previous violations, with all recent permits properly obtained and completed. Recent maintenance includes regular updates to systems and fixtures, though there was a significant issue with front entry stair repair documented in 2009 due to rot damage.

Risk rating

How 3835-3837 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.
