Initial analysis

The property at 2618 McAllister Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Lung Po Yao & Teng Ya-chi. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, with the most recent being a completed reroofing project in September 2023 costing $7,000. A notable issue occurred in 2011 when a sinkhole developed in the rear yard, leading to a violation that was eventually abated in September 2013 following backfilling work with pea gravel. The property has seen various maintenance and upgrade work, including window replacements (2013), bathroom and kitchen renovations (2010), and historical repairs to address dry rot issues in the early 1990s, including work on the brick foundation and deck.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of neighborhood-related issues primarily involving parking violations, with multiple reports in February 2024 regarding sidewalk parking and driveway blocking, though these could not be validated by responding officers. Other recent incidents include a case of offensive graffiti (December 2022) and an abandoned vehicle report that turned out to be a stolen vehicle (June 2021). The property appears to be actively maintained, with regular upkeep demonstrated through the various permits while addressing safety concerns as they arise. The building's permit history suggests ongoing maintenance including window updates, bathroom/kitchen renovations, and proper addressing of structural issues as they become apparent.

Risk rating

How 2618 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
80th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 104 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 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.5%
Moderate concern 11.6%
Severe concern 5.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
