Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1952-1956 McAllister Street in Park North, owned by Yeo Family Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant events throughout its history. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $80,000, achieving compliance with San Francisco building codes and receiving its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). The building has a documented history of safety concerns, including a series of fire-related violations in 2003 that were promptly addressed within two months, involving issues with fire escape ladders, fire extinguisher maintenance, and gas utility shutoff requirements. More recent tenant concerns include documented instances of mold in 2016, affecting both bedrooms and bathrooms, though these complaints are now classified as not active.

The property has undergone routine safety inspections in 2009 and 2012, and a plumbing business was operating from the basement in 1996. Recent activity at the address includes multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street cleaning, parking violations, and noise concerns, with most issues being addressed and resolved by city services. The building's maintenance history shows appropriate responses to violations and adherence to safety retrofit requirements, though the presence of mold in 2016 and recent noise complaints indicate ongoing tenant experience challenges. The most recent building-related incidents have primarily involved external factors such as parking issues and sidewalk cleanliness, rather than internal building conditions or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1952-1956 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
35th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 518 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.

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 42.8%
Moderate concern 19.3%
Severe concern 37.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
