Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2070-2072 McAllister Street in Park North, owned by Anthony Lynch, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1902. The property has experienced significant challenges in recent years, most notably a serious fire incident in 2022 that required substantial repairs, including work on the east exterior wall, foundation replacement, and laundry room relocation, with new permits filed in March 2024 for these fire damage repairs valued at $150,000. The building has undergone several major renovations since 2015, including multiple kitchen and bathroom updates, garage improvements, and comprehensive electrical rewiring with a new 200-amp service installation in 2016. Recent work in 2024 includes kitchen renovations and plumbing updates, totaling approximately $75,000.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to updating and repairing various systems, including electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, with completed projects ranging from bathroom and kitchen remodels to new plumbing installations in multiple units. Historical records indicate a safety complaint in 2001 regarding broken windows, doors, and gas pipeline issues, but these were promptly addressed within three days. The building's record includes compliance work following physical inspection reports in 2015 (CC-7941 and CC-7942), showing responsiveness to regulatory requirements. While the property has faced significant challenges, particularly the fire damage, it has also seen substantial investment in improvements and repairs, with ongoing work continuing into 2024.

Risk rating

How 2070-2072 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
93th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 56 are predicted to be safer.
