Initial analysis

The property at 1663 McAllister Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Whipple & Jones Family Trust. The building has undergone various improvements over the years, with the most significant recent proposal being the addition of a new detached accessory dwelling unit, for which a permit was filed in May 2021 with an estimated cost of $125,000. In 2012, Unit B received comprehensive renovations including kitchen and bathroom updates with new fixtures, cabinets, and appliances, along with electrical and plumbing improvements. Earlier maintenance work addressed termite issues in 2011, involving clearance of Section 1 items from two termite reports, while previous modifications in 1993 included the installation of a sliding glass door.

The building's history includes several routine safety inspections (2001 and 2009) and two significant housing complaints from 1997 related to maintenance issues - one concerning deteriorated rear stairs and another regarding multiple interior problems including broken cabinets, peeling walls, and window issues, all of which were subsequently resolved. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external matters, with multiple 311 calls in 2022-2024 relating to street cleaning, parking violations, and noise complaints, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The property has maintained an active maintenance record with regular upgrades and repairs, with no recent building complaints or serious safety issues recorded.

Risk rating

How 1663 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
81th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 151 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.0%
Moderate concern 13.5%
Severe concern 4.5%
