AI summary

The two-story multi-family residential building at 28-30 Allen Street in Russian Hill, owned by Sharks Tr, was constructed in 1906 and contains two dwelling units. The property has undergone several significant renovation attempts since 2016, with an $500,000 project aimed at expanding and remodeling both units, including a new partial third floor with roof deck, though this work has seen multiple permit modifications and cancellations. Most recently, in April 2024, permits were issued for a third-floor addition with study, full bath, guest room, and interior stair installation. The building underwent substantial improvements in 2012-2013, including complete kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, and new furnace installations in both units, with the contractors completing the work successfully despite a few building complaints during construction regarding site cleanup and permit concerns.

The property has been the subject of several significant issues, particularly regarding illegal short-term rentals. Between 2018 and 2019, multiple complaints and violation notices were issued related to unauthorized Airbnb listings, which the owner allegedly continued despite official warnings. This matter escalated to involve the City Attorney's Office, though eventually ended with the owner removing the listings. A 440 electrical wiring/equipment issue was recorded with no civilian injuries. The building's recent permit history shows continued interest in roof deck improvements, though recent attempts to add third-floor access have been cancelled as of October 2024. Various public record requests and planning records indicate continued governmental interest in the property's development history and compliance matters. The building's current status shows active renovation permits as of 2024, most notably for substantial interior and exterior improvements to both units.

Risk rating

How 28-30 Allen 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

89th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 125 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast

No violation 88.5%

Moderate concern 8.5%

Severe concern 3.0%

Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
