Initial analysis

The property at 27 Alhambra Street is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Brocato Keenan Property Group. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably the recent fire alarm system replacement in June 2023 (completed at a cost of $24,375) to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. An electrical permit for the same fire alarm replacement project was also completed in October 2024. The building's history shows earlier maintenance work including a reroofing project and brick veneer removal in the late 1990s, and an administrative permit was obtained in 2022 to officially document the building's specifications as a 2-story structure with 6 dwelling units.

The property experienced a cluster of building violations in January 2016 related to compliance affidavit requirements under various building codes, all of which were abated by May 2016. A fire alarm system-related complaint was filed and resolved in February-March 2024. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external maintenance and environmental issues, with multiple reports of garbage and debris (most recently in June 2024), though these were typically resolved promptly by municipal services. The building's permit and violation history suggests regular attention to safety systems, with significant recent investment in fire safety infrastructure, though there are no current active violations or code compliance issues on record. The most recent zoning-related inquiry in 2024 was marked as closed, with no outstanding violations noted.

Risk rating

How 27 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
