Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1507-1511 McAllister Street, located in Alamo Square and owned by the Yamaguchi Family Trust, has a documented history of structural maintenance and safety compliance from 2010 through the present. The three-story flat, built in 1912, underwent significant structural repairs during 2010, including work on the rear first-floor unit's bedroom and entry stairs, addressing issues with rot in back stairs and landings costing approximately $41,000 in total. These repairs included electrical work (installation of four receptacles) and plumbing infrastructure improvements such as new drain pipe connections and water heater installation.

In November 2010, a routine safety inspection revealed several fire safety violations related to egress obstructions and self-closing devices at exterior gates, though these were promptly abated by December 9, 2010. The building's more recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges in the surrounding area, with several 311 calls between 2020 and 2024 reporting issues such as sidewalk problems (collapsed sidewalk reported in February 2024), illegal parking, and graffiti. While the building itself has not had any documented violations since 2010 and the most recent major structural work appears to have been completed satisfactorily, the surrounding area continues to experience typical urban maintenance issues related to street cleaning and parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1507-1511 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
74th percentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 79 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.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.3%
Moderate concern 20.4%
Severe concern 18.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
