Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 151-153 Albion Street in Mission Dolores, owned by James J & Victoria L Mullin, has undergone several significant structural and safety upgrades since its construction in 1906. Most notably, the property completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $49,500, demonstrating compliance with current seismic safety requirements. Recent improvements include the replacement of five fuse boxes with modern circuit breaker systems in January 2023, enhancing electrical safety and reliability. The building has maintained a proactive approach to infrastructure maintenance, with earlier foundation work completed in 2012 through a $22,500 underpinning project, and historical records show a compliance update in 1985.

The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2003, 2008, and 2017, during which time two violations were documented in 2003 regarding fire extinguisher maintenance - these were promptly addressed within weeks. While the building itself appears to be well-maintained, the immediate vicinity of the property has experienced periodic street cleaning issues, with multiple reports of garbage and debris between 2020 and 2024, three reports of encampments in 2022, and one case of illegal parking in 2022. A recent 2024 sidewalk request regarding SFFD access was resolved with no issues reported. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance and prompt attention to safety requirements, with most recent permits indicating ongoing investments in building safety systems.

Risk rating

How 151-153 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, 495 are predicted to be safer.
