Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1867-1869 McAllister Street, located in the Park North neighborhood, was constructed in 1900 and currently contains 3 apartment units. The property has undergone several significant safety improvements over the years, including the installation of a fire escape door in 2002 (replacing a window), and most recently, a completed sewer lateral upgrade in October 2021. The building has experienced three routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services (2003, 2009, and 2016) which revealed various fire safety and maintenance issues. The 2003 inspection identified multiple concerns including the need for fire extinguishers, a gas utility shutoff tool, smoke detectors, and repairs to a handrail and exterior lighting. The 2016 inspection noted required fire extinguisher installation and carbon monoxide alarm placement, though all violations from these inspections were marked as abated by December 2016. An 1985 permit for fire sprinklers and rear door repairs was filed but is currently listed as expired.

The property is facing recurring issues with street cleanliness and abandoned items, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2024 (a total of 10 calls), primarily related to garbage, furniture, and debris removal. Most notably, there are significant concerns with the public space around the building, including a current open case from April 2024 regarding a pavement defect. There have also been two parking enforcement calls in 2024, one for sidewalk parking and another for driveway blocking, with at least one citation issued. While the building's documented safety issues appear to have been resolved, the persistence of street cleaning complaints and an open pavement defect case suggests ongoing challenges with the surrounding area maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1867-1869 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
