Initial analysis

The property at 19-21 Jansen Street is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908 in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, currently owned by the Lockard/Marduel Revocable Trust and containing two units. The building underwent significant renovations in 2005, including a $40,000 conversion of the ground floor into living space for the lower unit, kitchen and bathroom remodeling with window additions, and electrical system upgrades including sub-panel installations, all of which were completed successfully. More recent improvements include a bathroom renovation and bedroom upgrades in late 2022, valued at $15,000.

The building experienced some notable maintenance issues in 2004-2005, particularly related to plumbing, with multiple violations recorded for defective and leaking building drains and sewer systems, though these were resolved by February 2005. A water leak affecting the neighboring property was reported and addressed in March 2005. The property has maintained its infrastructure reasonably well since then, with a reroofing project completed in 2004. Recent external issues recorded through 311 calls primarily relate to street and parking matters, including a 2022 manhole cover issue and several parking-related incidents, none of which directly impacted the building's habitability or safety. The most recent building permit activity in 2022 suggests ongoing maintenance and updating of the property's interior spaces.

Risk rating

How 19-21 Jansen 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
87th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 147 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.

Building permits (past 7 years)

Number of permits pulled at this address — construction or renovation activity over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.4%
Moderate concern 9.5%
Severe concern 12.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
