Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2120 Jones Street in Russian Hill, owned by Kristopher & Jan O'Connor, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1964. Most notably, from 2012 to 2018, there have been multiple window and door replacement projects, including a 2018 installation of six aluminum windows and three aluminum doors across all floors, and earlier projects in 2007, 2012, and 2013 that replaced various windows throughout the building with energy-efficient alternatives. The building's maintenance history includes two complete reroofing projects in 1989 and 2005, demonstrating attention to basic infrastructure needs.

The property experienced notable safety and compliance issues in December 2005, when a routine inspection revealed multiple fire safety violations in the garage area, including problems with combustible materials, fire extinguisher requirements, and smoke detector maintenance. These violations were all addressed and abated by February 2006. Since then, there have been no active building violations or fire safety concerns on record. The building has undergone periodic routine inspections in 2001, 2004, 2005, and 2012, with the only complaint from 2012 being related to a refrigerator issue. Recent activity at the address has primarily consisted of multiple illegal parking incidents reported between November 2024 and January 2025, which are typical for urban environments and not directly related to building conditions or management. The most recent building improvement permit activity was in October 2018, suggesting that no major structural or safety issues requiring immediate attention have been identified in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2120 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

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 510 are predicted to be safer.
