Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1544-1548 McAllister Street, owned by Del Camp Investment Inc, has undergone significant renovations and safety improvements since its construction in 1908. Most notably, the property completed its mandatory seismic retrofit in 2017, achieving Tier 3 compliance, and upgraded its fire alarm system in 2022 to meet current safety standards. The building has seen consistent unit improvements over the years, including a 2022 third-floor remodel of unit #5 that involved kitchen relocation and office creation, followed by electrical and plumbing updates. Other recent improvements include multiple unit remodels (particularly in units 1, 4, and 6) consisting of kitchen and bathroom renovations between 2015-2022, addressing both aesthetic and functional updates.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to structural issues, including dry rot repairs in the back stairway completed in late 2017. Regular safety inspections have been conducted, with only one building violation related to wood stairs in 2017, which was promptly resolved. Historical records indicate the property has undergone various plumbing updates, including sewer repairs in 2008 and 2019.

Risk rating

How 1544-1548 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

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.

Number of units

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.1%
Moderate concern 17.8%
Severe concern 12.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
