Initial analysis

1747 McAllister Street is a 10-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Richard Carpeneti Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past decade, with the most recent being the installation of low-frequency horns and a power supply unit in June 2024, followed by additional horn installations in bedrooms in August 2023. Notable safety improvements include a completed soft-story retrofit in 2015 (Tier 3), voluntary fire system replacement in 2017, and water damage repairs in 2020 which included the installation of a new flue for a water heater. The building has experienced multiple fire system-related inspections and activations, with three notable fire incidents recorded, though none resulted in civilian injuries. A 2017 fire violation regarding alarm system maintenance was abated.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety concerns, including repairs to exterior stairs in 2009 and water damage repairs in 2020. Routine safety inspections have been conducted, with one noise complaint recorded in 2018. Historical complaints from 2001 raised concerns about lead paint, cracks in walls, and various building features, though these issues appear to have been addressed. The property has experienced ongoing issues with garbage and debris management, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports through 311 calls. Parking enforcement has been regularly invoked, with recent cases in 2024 indicating ongoing challenges with parking management near the building. The building's last routine safety inspection was conducted in 2018, and while there have been periodic complaints about various building systems, most have been resolved promptly, with only one open case regarding home improvement maintenance from September 2024.

Risk rating

How 1747 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
12th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 701 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.

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 43.2%
Moderate concern 38.0%
Severe concern 18.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
