Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 151-155 Alpine Terrace in Buena Vista Park, owned by the Marian Zailian Revocable Trust, has a relatively straightforward history since its 1911 construction. The most significant recent work was completed in 2018, involving a substantial bathroom remodel, dry rot repairs, and HVAC improvements including the installation of two furnaces for units 151 and 153, with associated electrical work. In 2016, the property underwent a sewer lateral replacement, representing the most recent major infrastructure upgrade.

The building's record shows a cluster of building violations from July 2002 that were resolved by April 2003, primarily relating to fire safety and security issues, including concerns about fire extinguishers, combustible storage, and door security. These violations also included questions about the building's construction compliance regarding fire-resistant materials and emergency egress systems, though all were officially abated. Earlier records from 1999-2000 show attempted foundation work that ultimately expired without completion. The property has undergone regular routine housing inspections in 2002, 2009, and most recently in 2010, with no active violations or complaints since 2003.

Risk rating

How 151-155 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

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 225 are predicted to be safer.
