Initial analysis

The property at 1394-1396 Alabama Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1900 and owned by Raskin Family LP Ltd, this flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant improvements over the decades, including a complete reroofing project in 1996, the installation of aluminum windows in 1987, and the addition of two bedrooms with new gas and electric systems in 1983.

The building's recent history has been marked by numerous street-level maintenance issues, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris requiring Recology intervention. There have been several parking enforcement calls regarding driveway obstructions and illegal parking, resulting in citations. A graffiti incident was reported and resolved in October 2024. In terms of regulatory compliance, there was a planning record for two 2-sided projecting general advertising signs for Raskin in the RH-2 zoning district, which has since been closed and abated. While the building's structural improvements from previous decades indicate proper maintenance of the building's basic systems, the recent patterns of street-level issues suggest ongoing challenges with neighborhood maintenance around the property.

Risk rating

How 1394-1396 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.
