Initial analysis

The property at 1443-1449 Alabama Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by the David James Marwick 2017 Trust. The building has undergone numerous renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work occurring in late 2024, including a bathroom remodel with new fixtures and lighting improvements costing approximately $28,192. Significant earlier improvements include a completed reroofing project in 2021 ($18,200), a comprehensive kitchen and laundry room remodel with a new powder bathroom in 2016 ($32,000), and various unit-specific renovations to bathrooms and kitchens in 2012-2013.

The building's history shows a pattern of renovation work, though some of it has triggered complaints and concerns. In late 2013, multiple building and fire safety violations were recorded related to combustible storage and fire extinguisher maintenance, though these were abated by February 2014. There have been several complaints about unpermitted work and construction activities, including a 2021 complaint about unauthorized construction/wood shop operations in the backyard and sidewalk area, which remains active as of the latest records. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding blocked driveways and sidewalk parking between 2023-2025, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1443-1449 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.
