Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1819 McAllister Street, owned by Nwihim Adolphus C N & Rosem, has a long history of maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1900. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about the building's occupancy status, with an active complaint from August 2017 alleging illegal conversion from its permitted two-unit (R-3) classification to an unauthorized three-unit (R-2) configuration, particularly citing unauthorized changes to the ground floor playroom area. This complaint outlines multiple life safety concerns, including unapproved wiring, plumbing installations, lack of proper ventilation, missing smoke detectors, inadequate egress, and possible fire safety code violations.

The building has undergone several significant repairs over its history, including a gas houseline extension completed in August 2023, rear wooden stairway repairs in 2009 (following a complaint), and a reroofing project in 2001. There have been multiple plumbing issues documented, with the most recent work in 2023 and earlier sewer line repairs in 2009. A series of complaints emerged in 2009 regarding various maintenance problems, including heating system issues, plumbing problems, and unauthorized unit modifications, while more recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as noise complaints and illegal parking. The property has shown recurring concerns with compliance and maintenance requirements, with several violations remaining active as of the most recent inspection records, particularly relating to building permit requirements and unauthorized unit modifications.

Risk rating

How 1819 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
48th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 414 are predicted to be safer.
