Initial analysis

128 Alpine Terrace is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood. This 1905 flats and duplex structure, currently owned by Daniel & Olene Tilton Revocable Trust, has a relatively simple maintenance history with only two significant building permits on record: a reroofing project completed in 1992 and a street space permit issued in 2012.

The most pressing and recurring issue affecting this property involves tree root damage to the sidewalk, with five separate reports filed between October 2023 and December 2020, three of which are currently open cases. This pattern of tree-related infrastructure impact suggests an ongoing concern for pedestrian safety and potential property damage. Additional reported issues include a flickering streetlight in March 2022 (which was resolved with a lamp replacement), a hazardous materials report in January 2024 (which yielded no findings), and a resolved encampment situation in October 2024. There have been limited interactions with city services outside of these primary concerns, with most cases being systematically resolved through appropriate channels. The building's documented history suggests comparatively routine maintenance requirements over the years, with the most significant impacts coming from external environmental factors such as street trees.

Risk rating

How 128 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.
