Initial analysis

The 12-unit, three-story apartment building at 1647 McAllister Street in Park North, owned by the Marc W & Julie J Wilson Revocable Trust, has undergone significant maintenance and safety upgrades since its construction in 1900. The property completed a soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3, CFC Issued) costing $70,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Major improvements include the recent window replacement project in 2020 which replaced 24 double-hung wood windows to match the original design ($37,000), and the installation of a new fire alarm system with monitored sprinkler system in 2013 ($14,000). The building has experienced several fire safety complaints over the years, with issues ranging from blocked exits to problems with sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and combustible materials, though most were promptly corrected within weeks of being reported. A notable common areas complaint was filed in November 2023, which remains active.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity and resident amenities, including a 2015 roof deck addition (status: Filed), improvements to the rear fire escape, and various interior updates. Historical records indicate earlier renovations such as foundation work in 2000 ($29,000) and kitchen updates in 1990 (nine units). The property has maintained compliance with building codes, as evidenced by the completion of mandatory safety improvements, though there was an unusual incident in 2000 involving unauthorized winemaking activities in the basement that was quickly resolved. Recent 311 calls for the area primarily relate to street conditions and maintenance issues beyond the building's interior, including reports of garbage, debris, and damaged signs, though these are external to the property's actual residential units.

Risk rating

How 1647 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
15th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 677 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 36.5%
Moderate concern 50.7%
Severe concern 12.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
