Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 3-story apartment building at 9 August Alley in North Beach, owned by Sheyboygan Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various challenges since its construction in 1966. Most notably, the building experienced fire-related incidents in 2022, including a complaint about non-functioning fire alarms during a fire in unit 303 and concerns about outdated wiring causing headaches. In response to safety concerns, the property has received substantial upgrades, including a mandatory $150,000 seismic strengthening in 2016 and a recent $31,554 fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2024 to comply with current codes.

The building has undergone multiple unit renovations over the years, including comprehensive updates in 2010-2013 to units 103, 204, 302, and 304, involving kitchen and bathroom replacements with new fixtures, cabinets, and appliances. A significant fire damage restoration was completed in unit 303 in January 2023 at a cost of $30,000. The property has faced various maintenance challenges, including termite repairs in 2013, weatherproofing issues in 2022, and historical violations related to fire safety systems and egress access, though all of these violations have been officially abated. The building successfully completed its soft-story seismic retrofit requirements and is now listed as "Work Complete, CFC Issued." Recent improvements and routine maintenance have included reroofing work in 2023, electrical upgrades, and various plumbing system improvements, including the installation of a new domestic hot water heater in 2015.

Risk rating

How 9 August Aly'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.
