Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1204 Alemany Blvd in Mission Terrace, built in 1915, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues that warrant attention. Most recently, in March 2023, a hoarding situation was reported and subsequently corrected by the end of the month. The property has experienced multiple incidents of garden and yard maintenance neglect in 2014 and 2016, though these were also resolved. There was a significant building complaint in September 2004 regarding unauthorized construction of a white-painted deck and other work without proper permits, though this complaint is currently marked as not active.

The building's maintenance history includes several permit records, with the most notable being a 1998 window replacement project and completed repairs following a termite report in 1995. The property has undergone three tenant buyouts between 2016 and 2022, with payments ranging from $20,000 to $41,600 for two tenants each time. The period from late 2024 to early 2025 saw numerous 311 calls related to garbage and debris, including multiple reports of trash dumping and abandoned items in the vicinity, though these were primarily street-related issues outside the building itself. The fire department's record shows two non-serious incidents related to smoke detector malfunction and medical assistance calls, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's documented issues suggest periodic maintenance challenges, though many historical problems have been resolved through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 1204 Alemany Blvd'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
67th percentile

Out of 149 buildings in this neighborhood, 49 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.2%
Moderate concern 18.4%
Severe concern 10.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
