Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 2594-2596 McAllister Street, owned by James Mullamey, was constructed in 1900 in the Lone Mountain neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2013, which included kitchen and bathroom updates on the second floor, the addition of a new bathroom in the attic, installation of a central furnace, and comprehensive electrical upgrades totaling approximately $30,000. Prior to this, the building faced multiple safety and maintenance issues that were addressed through various permits and inspections, including repairs to the wooden stairway on the north side in 2009 (following violations in 2003) and various fire safety compliance matters. A notable incident occurred in 2011 when multiple concerns were reported, including fire safety, illegal unit claims, and maintenance issues, though these were resolved by January 2012.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety concerns, with violations primarily occurring in 2003 and 2009 related to fire safety equipment, emergency exits, and stairway conditions, all of which were eventually abated. The recent months have seen recurring graffiti issues on the mailbox, with multiple reports between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes since the major renovations in 2013, which included comprehensive updates to plumbing, electrical systems, and heating infrastructure. A tenant buyout was recorded at the property address in 2022 for $76,000 involving one tenant at 2580 McAllister Street, suggesting some tenancy movement in the adjacent property.

Risk rating

How 2594-2596 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
