Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story apartment building at 2656-2658 McAllister Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Christina L Kennedy, has undergone significant renovations and faced several compliance challenges since its construction in 1900. The property is currently completing the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system in 2023, following the earlier installation of comprehensive fire sprinkler protection throughout the building in 2019, which included new underground fire service. Major plumbing improvements have included the installation of underfloor heating systems and new plumbing infrastructure, though many of these permits have expired and required subsequent permits to properly complete and finalize the work.

The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly during 2021-2022, including a period of vacancy that triggered a violation for failure to comply with the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance. Tenants reported multiple problems including pest infestations and construction work concerns, leading to complaints about expired permits and unauthorized modifications. In response to these challenges, the property underwent substantial interior improvements, including the installation of new heating systems and plumbing fixtures, as well as electrical upgrades including a 400A service with multiple meters. The building's rear yard area received approvals for deck modifications to enhance usable outdoor space for two units, though some construction compliance issues have been noted.

Risk rating

How 2656-2658 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

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 493 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Director's hearings (past 7 years)

Director's hearings are escalated enforcement actions for buildings that haven't resolved violations — a serious signal.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 56.3%
Moderate concern 38.9%
Severe concern 4.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
