Initial analysis

The 1300-1304 McAllister Street property is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently managed by owner Richard F. Mackota and containing 12 units. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges in recent years, with multiple active violations as of 2023 including issues with egress pathways, combustible storage in exit hallways, stair repairs, and inadequate lighting at egress stairs. Two recent violations from December 2023 involve fire extinguisher maintenance requirements and compliance affidavit documentation. The property has a documented history of stair-related issues, with both a 2017 violation and a subsequent minor repair to rear wood stairs in 2017, as well as historical maintenance records showing reroofing work completed in 2011 and 1991.

The building has undergone several routine safety inspections over the years, with three recorded fire safety complaints in 2017 regarding blocked exits (which were corrected) and multiple fire code violations. While false alarms and detector activations have occurred, none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent activity around the property suggests ongoing environmental maintenance needs, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street and sidewalk cleaning, though these are primarily related to external conditions rather than building safety. The property's documented history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding exit pathways and stairways, along with periodic roof maintenance and various street space permits, with the most recent inspection activity focusing on compliance with current building safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 1300-1304 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
28th percentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 220 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.8%
Moderate concern 30.8%
Severe concern 13.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
