Initial analysis

Located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 44-46 Albion Street was constructed in 1918 and is currently owned by Chris Kapka Tr. The building has undergone several significant renovations over its history, with the most substantial work occurring between 2001-2002, including a kitchen renovation with new drywall, plumbing, and electrical work (costing $20,000), followed by revisions that converted a storage room into a bedroom with a full bathroom (costing $90,000). The property has also received infrastructure improvements, including sewer line work completed in 2009, and window upgrades with the installation of aluminum windows in 1986.

The building's recent history (2022-2024) has been marked by several street-related issues, particularly regarding parking violations, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways between December 2022 and January 2023, resulting in at least one citation being issued. There have been some maintenance and cleanliness concerns in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for garbage and debris removal in 2023 and 2024, though most of these cases were resolved. In October 2023, there were two notable incidents involving shared spaces - one regarding a child request and another related to a sidewalk violation, with the latter being fully abated. The property's permit history shows careful attention to maintenance and upgrades, with most of the major work being properly completed or renewed through the appropriate channels, though some earlier permits from 2001 did expire.

Risk rating

How 44-46 Albion St'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 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 136 are predicted to be safer.
