Initial analysis

The property at 2-12 Aladdin Terrace is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, built in 1907 and currently owned by Bihan Rene & Fang Ginny. The building has undergone significant safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years, with major upgrades including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system in 2020 (cost: $26,800) followed by a sprinkler monitoring system in 2022 (cost: $4,000), demonstrating a commitment to fire safety. The electrical system has received substantial attention, including a complete rewire with a 200-amp service upgrade in 2019 and the installation of a solar photovoltaic system in 2021 (5.81 kW with 14 modules), indicating sustainable energy improvements.

The building's plumbing systems have seen various updates, including work on bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry facilities, though some permits from 2020 expired before completion. A notable complaint was filed in October 2020 regarding construction noise exceeding allowable limits and questions about permit compliance, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking in the vicinity, with multiple enforcement actions taken between 2019 and 2024, including one instance of sidewalk parking that resulted in a citation. Regular maintenance and upgrading of building systems, including a radiant heating installation and various plumbing improvements, suggest ongoing attention to infrastructure maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2-12 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 113 are predicted to be safer.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

Moderate concern 12.7%
Severe concern 10.2%
