Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1610 McAllister Street in the Park North neighborhood, owned by C Y McAllister Property LLC, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects in recent years. Most notably, between 2023-2024, the property has seen substantial work on its exterior, including stucco repairs above windows in June 2023 (cost: $8,500) and a lightwell floor repair with new membrane and plywood in February 2024 (cost: $5,200). Additional improvements include the installation of a light well drain in March 2024, while historical records show a reroofing project was completed in 2018 (cost: $9,800). Of particular concern is a documented mold issue from 2016, where a resident reported persistent mold problems in a bedroom, allegedly resulting in a dispute over responsibility for abatement between the tenant and property management; however, this complaint was marked as not active by September 2016.

The building's surroundings have experienced various maintenance and enforcement issues, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations, including seven separate incidents primarily related to blocked driveways or illegal parking between January and August 2024. Other recent neighborhood concerns include garbage and debris incidents in July 2024, construction equipment temporarily blocking sidewalks in January 2024, and two instances of human waste removal in 2022-2024. The property has undergone approved maintenance work including in-kind stucco replacement, with no changes to windows or openings, according to planning records. While the recent renovation activity suggests ongoing property maintenance, the history of mold issues and the frequency of parking violations in the vicinity may indicate areas requiring continued attention.

Risk rating

How 1610 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
88th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 96 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.9%
Moderate concern 14.4%
Severe concern 10.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
