Initial analysis

The property at 1701-1703 Alabama Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, built in 1924 and currently owned by the Kurt E Landisman Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and safety improvements over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2007, when a comprehensive kitchen remodel was completed including new cabinets, appliances, and associated electrical work (panel relocation, lighting, and circuits) totaling $15,000. Earlier improvements included important seismic safety work in 1998 with mudsill bolting and cripple wall bracing, and bathroom remodeling on the top floor in 1997. A roofing permit from 1997 appears to have expired without completion confirmation.

In recent months (August to December 2024), there have been multiple reports of street and sidewalk cleanliness issues, with eight cases related to garbage and debris noted through 311 calls, including incidents of loose garbage, yard waste, and glass debris. There have also been recurring parking-related issues, with three reports of blocked driveways and three reports of abandoned vehicles, though in all cases the vehicles were gone upon enforcement arrival. These recent incidents primarily relate to street-level concerns rather than building-specific issues, though they indicate some degree of ongoing maintenance attention needed for the surrounding property area.

Risk rating

How 1701-1703 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
