Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 923 Alabama Street in the Inner Mission, owned by George R. Sandoval, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety events over the past decades. In the electrical systems, the ground floor underwent a substantial rewiring in 2011, with code-compliant upgrades including a new 125-amp service, multiple sub-panels, circuits, lighting, and smoke detectors, following a hazardous wiring complaint that was filed and resolved between February and September 2011. The building also had plumbing work completed in 2010 with the installation of a new gas water heater.

The property experienced fire safety violations in December 2016 related to emergency lighting and alarm system maintenance, though these were subsequently corrected. More recently, there have been multiple parking-related incidents in the surrounding area, with the most recent being resolved citations for illegal parking in 2023-2024. The property's immediate vicinity has faced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by various 311 calls between 2020-2021 regarding street cleaning and waste removal, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The building's maintenance history shows attention to major systems upgrades, though it also reveals some historical compliance issues that were addressed through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 923 Alabama 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.
