Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1946-1950 McAllister Street, owned by McAllister LLC, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements while maintaining safety compliance. Built in 1900, this apartment building has been actively maintained, with the most recent major work in 2023 including a new deck installation and firewall construction, along with a complete remodel of Apartment 2's kitchen and bathroom. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Between 2012 and 2015, multiple units received modern updates including kitchen and bathroom renovations, with all work properly documented through building, plumbing, and electrical permits.

Historical records show that the building had several maintenance issues in the early 2000s, including water damage repairs, lead paint concerns, and fire escape maintenance requirements, all of which were promptly addressed and abated by 2002. The property experienced fire damage in 1992, but has since maintained a good safety record. Recent complaints through the 311 system in late 2024 about flooding and noise appear to be ongoing, though these incidents are external to the building itself. The most recent tenant buyout occurred in March 2023 at a cost of $55,000 for one tenant. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates and prompt attention to safety requirements, with no active building violations or complaints regarding internal conditions.

Risk rating

How 1946-1950 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
62th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 303 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.

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 63.7%
Moderate concern 19.4%
Severe concern 17.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
