Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 157-163 Albion Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Brian & Deanna Moore Living, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 (with a permit cost of $50,000) to enhance seismic safety, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status as a Tier 3 retrofit. The building has maintained compliance with safety standards through regular inspections and necessary repairs, including a 2003-2004 period when multiple violations were addressed regarding fire extinguishers, stairs, gas meter instructions, and severely deteriorated rear columns, all of which were abated.

Recent building improvements include a complete electrical upgrade in 2010 with the installation of a 200-amp main disconnect and re-wiring of one apartment, and plumbing renovations in 2011 that encompassed bathroom, kitchen, and laundry improvements. The most recent routine safety inspection in 2017 resulted in no active violations. While there have been several 311 calls in the area since 2021, primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues, these are generally external to the building itself. The property has shown a commitment to maintaining safety standards and addressing violations promptly, with all building permits reaching completion status and no current open violations on record.

Risk rating

How 157-163 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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

No violation 28.4%
Moderate concern 33.3%
Severe concern 38.3%
