Initial analysis

This two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 165-167 Alpine Terrace in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood was constructed in 1907 and is currently owned by Peter and Linda Hoch. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance updates over its lifespan, with the most recent major work occurring in 2018-2019, including a $50,000 renovation of the grade-level apartment (165A) that encompassed kitchen and bathroom improvements, followed by electrical and plumbing updates including the installation of a high-efficiency furnace and ductwork. Earlier major improvements include successful deck replacements in 1999, reroofing work in 1991, and a building code compliance update in 1986.

The building experienced a notable set of violations in 2002 related to lead paint hazards and garbage receptacle placement, though these were all abated by October 30, 2002. A routine housing inspection in 2009 was conducted and marked as not active. Recent activity at the property has been minimal, with only a few 311 calls recorded in 2023-2024 primarily related to street-related issues rather than building-specific problems. The property underwent planning approval processes for deck replacement work, which was completed in accordance with Planning Code requirements. While the building has a historical record of maintenance and improvements, there are no active violations or persistent issues noted in recent years, suggesting proper upkeep by the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 165-167 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.
