Initial analysis

The property at 2770-2776 McAllister Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by the Po Ka & Shui W Tse Revocable Trust. The building underwent significant improvements between 2020-2021, including a voluntary seismic retrofit with plywood shear walls in the basement, window replacements, and kitchen and bathroom remodels on multiple floors, with particular attention to the basement area. These renovations were accompanied by comprehensive upgrades to the building's plumbing and electrical systems, though there was an initial complaint in April 2021 regarding unissued permits that was subsequently resolved.

The building's maintenance history shows several safety-related issues that were addressed over time, most notably a cluster of violations in 2003-2007 related to fire safety equipment, smoke detectors, structural concerns including stair repairs, and various habitability issues such as heating system problems and plumbing concerns. A routine safety inspection in 2016 identified issues requiring attention, including carbon monoxide alarm requirements and stair repairs, which were abated by February 2017. The property has continued to receive regular maintenance and upgrades, as evidenced by recent building permits, including work to fully sprinkler the basement. Recent 311 calls regarding the property have primarily concerned street-related issues rather than building conditions, with the most recent calls in 2024 relating to abandoned furniture on the street. The building's planning record confirms the completion of significant remodeling work under permit number 202001232561, which included multiple system upgrades and safety improvements.

Risk rating

How 2770-2776 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.
