Initial analysis

The 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1629 McAllister Street, owned by Marc W. & Julie J. Wilson Rev, was constructed in 1911 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) at a cost of $62,000 to improve seismic safety. Recent building maintenance and improvements include a 2019 street space and sidewalk repair, a new roof deck installation in 2015, and various fire safety upgrades. The building experienced several fire safety-related complaints between 2007 and 2018, all of which were marked as "Condition Corrected," including issues with fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and blocked exits. A significant cluster of building violations was recorded in March 2023, including issues with the fire escape ladder, fire extinguisher maintenance, gas utility shutoff tools, and various compliance affidavits, though these were all abated by May 2023.

The property has undergone various maintenance and repair work over the years, including roofing projects in 2014, termite damage repairs in 1989, and specific unit repairs such as plaster work in Unit 101 (2006) and gas line installations in Unit 404 (2009). Historical complaints from 1996 documented significant building issues at that time, including problems with walls, roof access, chimney, plumbing, and lighting, though these were resolved. Recent 311 calls near the property (2020-2024) primarily relate to street and sidewalk cleaning issues, with several concerning human or animal waste and debris removal. The building's owners have generally responded to and resolved maintenance issues as they arise, as evidenced by the completion of numerous building and safety upgrades.

Risk rating

How 1629 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
22th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 622 are predicted to be safer.

Number of units
