Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 72 Albion Street, owned by the Yu Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907 in San Francisco's Mission Dolores neighborhood. The building's maintenance records show one significant permitted improvement: a $9,600 reroofing project completed in 2015.

The property has experienced persistent issues with street cleanliness and maintenance in recent years, with multiple reports of garbage and debris between 2024 and 2022, including an incident involving medical waste (needles) and human/animal waste in 2022, both of which were resolved. Parking enforcement has been frequently required to address driveway blocking incidents, with three such cases recorded in 2024 alone, though responses have had mixed results in terms of enforcement. While these external issues have been consistently reported and addressed by city services, they primarily pertain to the street and sidewalk areas surrounding the building, rather than the building's internal conditions or systems. The most recent building improvement on record was the 2015 reroofing project, though no subsequent major building modifications or improvements have been documented in the available records through October 2023.

Risk rating

How 72 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
89th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 88 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 87.4%
Moderate concern 8.7%
Severe concern 3.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
