Initial analysis

The Gualco Family Trust owns this two-unit multi-family residential building located at 127-129 Alhambra Street in the Marina neighborhood, which was constructed in 1926 and consists of two stories. The building has undergone several notable improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing project in 2007 costing $7,500, and there were multiple kitchen renovations involving sink, disposal, and counter replacements documented in 1999. In the early 2010s, the property experienced a series of fire safety violations that were subsequently resolved by November 2011, including requirements for fire extinguishers, removal of combustible storage, and proper gas utility shutoff tools and instructions.

Recent history indicates ongoing parking challenges in the vicinity, with at least ten documented cases of driveway blocking between October 2023 and February 2024, though many of these cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles, while some did lead to citations being issued. Additionally, there was one construction-related noise complaint in October 2023 that was investigated but resulted in no conditions being found. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to basic upkeep, with most permits and violations being addressed in a timely manner, particularly emphasizing the property's fire safety compliance resolution in 2011, which marked a significant improvement in safety standards for the building.

Risk rating

How 127-129 Alhambra 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

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 573 are predicted to be safer.
