Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1423-1427 McAllister Street in Alamo Square, owned by Access Capital Investments, has undergone significant renovations and experienced multiple compliance issues since 2020. Recent major improvements include comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units, with the most substantial work occurring in 2022 ($80,000) which included kitchen and bathroom renovations, ceiling modifications, and installation of a new heating system. The building has a documented history of unauthorized modifications, with several complaints filed between 2020-2023 regarding work performed beyond the scope of permits, including the allegedly unauthorized addition of a second bathroom in unit 1427 and concerns about kitchen relocation. These violations triggered multiple notices of violation, though records indicate they were ultimately abated by November 2021. The property has also experienced various maintenance issues, including electrical system concerns, heating system problems, and plumbing work requiring correction. An active 311 call from June 2022 reports excessively loud construction noise.

The building's systems have been extensively updated, with multiple permits for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work between 2020-2022, including the replacement of furnaces, water heaters, and extensive electrical upgrades involving lighting, receptacles, and appliances. Historical records show earlier permits from the 1990s for structural work including wall repairs and reroofing, though these permits have since expired. More recent 311 calls between 2021-2024 primarily relate to external issues such as sidewalk maintenance needs (tree roots lifting pavement) and parking violations, rather than building-specific problems. The property's renovation history shows a pattern of significant investment in upgrading units, though with recurring issues regarding permit compliance and work scope.

Risk rating

How 1423-1427 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
