Initial analysis

The property at 2719-2721 McAllister Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1988, currently owned by Chuck W C Siu & Silbey Sik. The building's construction history shows a sequence of developments: a two-family dwelling was demolished in August 1987, followed by the completion of the current three-unit structure in February 1988. Subsequent improvements included bathroom and recreational room installations in the basement in 1996, and a reroofing project in 2002.

The building has undergone several routine safety inspections over the years, with the most recent occurring in December 2016. This inspection revealed multiple fire safety issues that were subsequently addressed, including the installation of smoke enclosure door closers and removal of combustible lint from dryer surrounds. Historical violations from 2001 and 2006 related to egress obstruction and exit door security were also resolved. More recently, there have been multiple parking enforcement issues on-site, particularly from 2020 through 2024, with numerous reports of sidewalk parking violations and at least one driveway blocking incident. While these parking enforcement issues suggest ongoing challenges with vehicle management in the area, they do not directly impact building safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 2719-2721 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
34th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 343 are predicted to be safer.
