Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 131 Albion Street in Mission Dolores, managed by the Schreiber Family Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1912. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 4), demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. Recent plumbing issues have been a prominent concern, with multiple complaints in early 2024 regarding water heater installations and pressure problems, though these were eventually addressed. The building has an active complaint regarding an unauthorized laundry room installation from 2020-2021, which was reportedly completed with proper permits in 2021, along with related electrical work.

The property has a documented history of fire safety monitoring, with multiple fire alarm system upgrades, including a wireless system installation in 2017. Several fire inspection violations have been noted and corrected over the years, typically involving alarm systems or extinguishers. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety issues, including decayed stair framing replacement in 2017 and various plumbing repairs. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, particularly involving water pressure and heating systems, most recent inspections and permits indicate these issues have been addressed properly. Historical complaints from 2006 regarding various building systems, including electrical and plumbing issues, were resolved within a reasonable timeframe, suggesting active management of building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 131 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.
