Initial analysis

The property at 1618-1620 McAllister Street is a four-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Green Hills View LLC and containing two units. The building has undergone significant improvements since 2012, including complete plumbing remodeling of all bathrooms and kitchens, new furnaces installation, electrical upgrades, and the addition of a fire sprinkler system in the basement in 2013 (costing $17,476). In 2014, eight windows were replaced with double-hung wood windows, though there was subsequent concern about them not being historically accurate. Recent building inspections reveal serious active concerns from December 2024 including rodent infestation, general dilapidation, improper maintenance, issues with floor coverings, handrails, and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. There is also an active complaint from 2015 regarding an unauthorized fence installation and ongoing concerns about the property's use as unauthorized group housing. All these recent violations and complaints suggest significant ongoing maintenance and compliance issues that may affect resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 1618-1620 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
47th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 422 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.

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 67.7%
Moderate concern 28.5%
Severe concern 3.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
