Initial analysis

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 14-18 Aladdin Terrace in Russian Hill, owned by Tr Fbo Lena Mari Meneguzzi, was constructed in 1932 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years. Most notably, a potentially concerning electrical issue was reported in March 2024 involving the breaker box emitting a burning plastic smell, which was referred to another agency for investigation. The building has completed required seismic improvements through a soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3), and various structural maintenance including rear stairs repair in 2021 and earlier wood stair repairs in 2006, the latter having been prompted by multiple violations including safety concerns. In 2002 and 2006, the building underwent comprehensive safety upgrades including fire extinguisher maintenance, fire escape repairs, smoke detector battery replacements, and security improvements.

Historical maintenance records show regular upkeep including reroofing work in 2007 and 1993, though some issues required addressing multiple times, such as stair repairs and fire safety equipment maintenance. The building has passed routine inspections following these violations, with all identified issues having been abated by May 2006. Recent years have seen minimal facility-related complaints outside of the 2024 electrical issue, though there have been several unrelated 311 calls regarding street cleaning and parking matters in the vicinity of the building. The property's permit and violation history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance to address safety concerns promptly when they arise, particularly notable during the 2002-2006 period when multiple violations were documented and subsequently resolved.

Risk rating

How 14-18 Aladdin Ter'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.
