Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1284 McAllister Street in the Western Addition neighborhood, owned by Murphy Revocable Tr, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the years. Most recently, in September 2024, the building received a reroofing upgrade costing $26,700. The property has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, with multiple violations and complaints documented between 2017 and 2024 related to alarm systems, sprinkler maintenance, and sleeping area requirements. The building faced a cluster of compliance issues in March 2023 concerning fire escape maintenance and various safety requirements, though these were abated by September 2024.

Historical records show that the building has undergone substantial maintenance work, including the replacement of 18 wood windows in 2017, repairs to bay windows and foundation support in 2009, and various interior upgrades in 2010-2021 such as kitchen and bathroom renovations, installation of tankless water heaters, and electrical improvements. The property has experienced some structural challenges over the years, including dry rot repairs in 2010 and termite damage remediation in 2008. Regular safety inspections have been conducted, with the most recent issues primarily focusing on building systems and maintenance rather than structural problems. While the building has had several fire-related incidents and violations, none have resulted in civilian injuries, and most violations have been promptly addressed. The property has also been subject to various municipal service calls in 2024, primarily concerning street maintenance and graffiti, which are being handled by relevant city departments.

Risk rating

How 1284 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.

Neighborhood percentile
43th percentile

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 95 are predicted to be safer.
