Initial analysis

35 Alpine Terrace is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1958, currently owned by Jorge Becerril and A McIntosh. The property has undergone significant improvements and safety upgrades over recent years, with the most notable recent development being the installation of overhead automatic fire sprinklers on the 1st floor, with associated plumbing and fire alarm work initiated in 2023. The building has completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting and received a Certificate of Final Completion. Substantial unit improvements have been made between 2016 and 2023, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in various units, window replacements, and the legalization of an in-law unit. The building's electrical infrastructure has also been upgraded, including the installation of a 40-amp car charger and replacement of two Federal Pacific panels in 2023, as well as a recent upgrade to apartment 1's electrical service in April 2024.

The property has a relatively clean violation history, with notable issues addressed promptly in 2001-2002 related to fire safety and lead paint concerns, which were all abated. Routine inspections have been conducted, with the most recent being a prescheduled inspection in 2010. Planning records indicate successful legalization of a sixth dwelling unit at the first floor and window replacements, while all required soft-story work has been completed. The building has experienced standard maintenance issues typical for its age, as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding street cleaning and sanitation, though these are primarily exterior to the building's core systems and maintenance. A tenant buyout was recorded in 2016 for $35,000 involving 2 tenants, though no other buyouts are on record.

Risk rating

How 35 Alpine Ter'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

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 154 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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

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 79.1%
Moderate concern 9.8%
Severe concern 11.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
