Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 910 Alabama Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Andrew Low, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction as a flats and duplex structure. The property experienced significant regulatory scrutiny in the mid-1990s, particularly in 1994, when multiple housing inspection complaints were filed regarding various issues, including an illegal dwelling conversion, lack of heat, and unauthorized modifications from its original garage use. These concerns were ultimately addressed through permit number 9411587, which completed the conversion of the illegal dwelling back to its rightful legal use.

In more recent years, the property has faced ongoing challenges with parking enforcement, particularly relating to sidewalk parking violations, with multiple citations issued between 2023 and 2025. The current year (2024) has seen continuing concerns with sidewalk access and cleanliness, including reports of garbage and debris (with one case still open as of the latest data) and issues related to remodeling work affecting the sidewalk area. The building's recent maintenance history shows some attention to sidewalk cleanliness, as evidenced by a May 2024 inspection and conversation with a worker regarding debris management. While the property has not undergone any officially recorded tenant buyouts or significant structural modifications in recent years, the persistent parking and cleanliness issues in the immediate vicinity continue to be a notable aspect of the building's current operational environment.

Risk rating

How 910 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 190 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 location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.9%
Moderate concern 13.4%
Severe concern 5.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
