Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 130-132 Alpine Terrace in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, built in 1906 and owned by Kristin Emde, is a two-story flats and duplex building containing four units. The property has undergone significant renovations between 2021-2022, with multiple permits showing substantial work including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, HVAC installation, insulation improvements, and exterior maintenance. Notable recent improvements from July 2022 involved addressing dry rot with partial exterior siding replacement and closing two windows and one door, along with installing four replacement windows. The building experienced a significant code compliance issue in April 2022, when an inspection revealed unauthorized construction work beyond the approved scope, including new window locations, new walls for laundry rooms and bedrooms, and exterior siding modifications on the west and south elevations.

Recent records show the building underwent major electrical work in August 2024, including replacement of the main switch (Federal Pacific) and additional electrical improvements. The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, with several fire safety violations documented in 2001 (all of which were abated), and multiple complaints about construction-related disturbances in 2022 regarding noise, working hours, and site safety. There have been routine housing inspections in 2001, 2011, and 2010, with past complaints suggesting concerns about bathroom and kitchen functionality, though these issues were resolved. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, including a complete reroofing in 2006 and various plumbing improvements. While recent history shows substantial investment in building improvements, the property has experienced periods of construction-related disturbances and compliance issues that required subsequent correction, particularly during the 2021-2022 renovation period.

Risk rating

How 130-132 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
