Initial analysis

The Bon Aire Group LLC-owned six-story, 114-unit multi-family residential building at 136-154 McAllister Street in the Tenderloin, constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant incidents and ongoing maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there was a substantial fire incident in unit 623 in 2022, requiring extensive repairs costing over $75,000 and affecting fire safety systems. The building has undergone multiple unit renovations between 2016-2020, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 108, 218, 515, 622, and 109, typically involving electrical and plumbing upgrades. Recent major concerns include persistent elevator problems, with multiple complaints (most recently in 2024) about both the main and freight elevators being out of service, significantly impacting accessibility for upper-floor and disabled residents. There are also recurring fire safety issues, with violations in 2023 related to sleeping area requirements, fire extinguishers, and commercial cooking systems, though some have been abated. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including peeling paint, heat and water issues in unit 506 (2023), and various fire safety compliance matters.

The property has undergone some infrastructure work, including a fire alarm upgrade in 2023 and historical emergency work related to a temporary excavation shoring system in 2020. The building's management has taken steps to improve accessibility, as evidenced by the 2020 barrier removal project at the front entry. Recent inspections have revealed various compliance issues that have generally been addressed, though some violations remain open as of the latest records. The building's location in the Tenderloin neighborhood is reflected in multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and waste management, with recent reports in 2025 showing ongoing urban maintenance challenges in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 136-154 Mcallister 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.
