Initial analysis

The three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building at 2701-2711 McAllister Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood was built in 1908 and is currently owned by Danny & Mirram Chan. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including a major electrical system overhaul in 2015 that involved installing a new 400A single-phase main service with 19 meters and updating the grounding system, as well as gas line repairs in 2018. Between January and August 2022, the building experienced multiple violations related to window maintenance, including issues with glazing seals, sash frames, cords, and hardware, along with window safety concerns that were all abated by August 31, 2022. The property has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations between 2014 and 2023 including problems with fire alarm systems, extinguishers, and exit maintenance, with the most recent violation related to sleeping area requirements issued in December 2023.

The building's maintenance history includes both routine inspections and tenant-reported issues, such as a 2014 complaint about a leaking faucet and malfunctioning oven. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning issues, including reports of abandoned mattresses and other debris, though these are external to the building itself. The property has experienced three documented fire incidents, including a cooking fire and outside rubbish fires, though no civilian injuries were reported in these events. The building underwent substantial electrical system improvements in 2015, including the installation of individual unit panels and an updated connectivity system, suggesting proactive maintenance of critical systems.

Risk rating

How 2701-2711 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
3th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 503 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 36.8%
Moderate concern 31.3%
Severe concern 31.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
