Initial analysis

The multi-family residential building at 158-160 Alpine Terrace, located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, is a two-story, 5-unit apartment building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by David M Lopez Tr. The property underwent significant renovations in 2021, including interior remodeling of both units (158 and 160 Alpine Terrace) with wall removals, kitchen and bathroom updates, and various window and door replacements. The building's infrastructure received substantial upgrades, including new electrical subpanels, electrical system improvements, plumbing work including kitchen and bathroom remodels, and HVAC installation of a new furnace with PVC flue. The building's foundation was addressed through multiple permit revisions in 2021-2022, indicating ongoing structural improvements.

Historical records show a cluster of building violations in 2002 related to fire safety and security requirements, including issues with fire extinguishers, fire escape ladders, deck repairs, and plumbing permits, though all these violations were abated by March 2003. The building has maintained regular inspections since, with the most recent building work focusing on concrete strengthening and various permit revisions. Recent 311 calls from 2020-2024 primarily relate to street-level issues such as parking violations, sidewalk maintenance, and noise complaints, rather than building-specific concerns. A single fire incident was recorded for smoke detector activation due to malfunction, with no civilian injuries reported. The property experienced one tenant buyout in 2019 for $77,467.36 involving one tenant of unit 158.

Risk rating

How 158-160 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
67th percentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 116 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 77.9%
Moderate concern 12.6%
Severe concern 9.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
