Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1994-1996 Great Highway, owned by Heather Alison, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1958 in the Outer Parkside neighborhood. The property underwent significant renovations in 2012, which included raising ceilings in the living room, dining room, and kitchen, eliminating a kitchen wall, replacing cabinets and bathroom fixtures, upgrading electrical systems, and reinforcing the second floor and foundation. This comprehensive improvement project also involved replacing 17 street-visible windows, updating the stucco on the west and south elevations, and making substantial electrical upgrades including a new 200A service and multiple circuits and fixtures, all with a combined cost exceeding $80,000. The building's mechanical systems were similarly upgraded in 2012, with two furnace replacements and comprehensive plumbing work that included fireplace installations, kitchen renovations, and bathroom updates.

The property has had minimal internal issues since the major 2012 renovations, with only one plumbing permit related to a fireplace installation in 2013 that expired without confirmation of completion. The surrounding area has experienced several municipal service calls in recent months (2024-2025), primarily related to street cleaning and graffiti on public infrastructure such as signal boxes, though these external issues generally do not affect the building's habitability. There were two notable incidents in December 2024 involving traffic signal damage, though these were part of a larger PG&E power outage affecting multiple customers. All service calls from late 2024 have been either resolved or are in the process of being addressed, with no reported recurring maintenance issues at the property itself.

Risk rating

How 1994-1996 Great Hwy'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.
