Initial analysis

The 2412-2420 Jones Street property is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, owned by the Jennie Ng 1988 Trust and built in 1950. The building has undergone significant improvements over recent years, with the most recent being a voluntary fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2022-2023, including new monitoring modules and sounders. Major renovation work was performed between 2020-2022, including bathroom updates (bathtub, shower, fixtures, tiles), window replacements (including Pella Architect Series wood windows at the front and vinyl units at the back), and various electrical upgrades. The property completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit requirements, achieving CFC (Certificate of Final Completion) status.

Historical maintenance records show regular upkeep, with significant improvements to individual units including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades, and window replacements. The building had routine housing inspections in 1999, 2004, and 2006, all of which were resolved promptly. A single fire-related incident was recorded in 2012 involving a malfunctioning smoke detector, which was corrected within ten days. The property has maintained its infrastructure through periodic upgrades, including siding replacement, bathroom renovations, and kitchen improvements, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and investment in building safety systems. Recent 311 calls related to the property primarily concern external issues such as street cleaning and parking enforcement, rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 2412-2420 Jones 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Owner's portfolio size

Property class: multi-family flat

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.8%
Moderate concern 14.2%
Severe concern 25.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
