Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1939-1943 McAllister Street, owned by Hall Family Trust, was constructed in 1900 and contains five units, consisting of a front building with three units and a rear building with two units. Recent activity includes permits issued in 2022 for administrative purposes to verify the building's unit configuration, as well as construction work for an ADU in the rear building. Between 2014-2015, significant improvements were made including window and door replacements, kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical system updates including new wiring, smoke detectors, and a sub-panel installation, and roof work. A notable building complaint from December 1997 reported a water leak through the kitchen ceiling that resulted in part of the ceiling collapsing, though this issue was addressed by February 1998.

The property has experienced some hazardous conditions, with three documented gas leak incidents (dates unspecified) though none resulted in civilian injuries. There was an attempted conversion of ground floor commercial space into a dwelling unit in 2020 that was withdrawn, and in the past two years (2022-2024), there have been multiple incidents of loose garbage requiring street cleaning, four general cleaning cases, and one instance of illegal posting that have all been resolved. While these maintenance and administrative activities suggest ongoing property management attention, the presence of multiple gas leak incidents warrants monitoring. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and attempts to adapt the property to current housing standards, including ADU conversion efforts.

Risk rating

How 1939-1943 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
69th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 247 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 age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.1%
Moderate concern 16.9%
Severe concern 10.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
