AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 2107-2109 Jones Street in Russian Hill is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by the Rose Chu Fong Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past decades, with the most substantial work occurring in 2014, when a comprehensive remodel was completed in both kitchens and bathrooms, including the installation of new windows, tiles, and plumbing fixtures at a cost of $34,000. Additional improvements in recent years include electrical upgrades with the installation of recessed lighting and smoke detectors in various areas (most recently in 2016) and some street space modifications in 2018. Historical records from 1997 indicate earlier concerns with dry rot in the rear wooden stairs, though this repair permit has since expired.

While the building itself appears well-maintained with documented improvements, there have been numerous 311 calls in the surrounding area between 2022 and 2024, primarily relating to street cleaning and waste management issues, including reports of loose garbage and misplaced toters. Recent activity includes three general cleaning cases in late 2023 and early 2024, though these are street-related issues rather than building concerns. The property has experienced three fire department responses related to carbon monoxide detector activations and smoke removal, though none indicated any civilian injuries or confirmed CO presence. A parking enforcement case regarding a blocked driveway was submitted in October 2024 but was closed as invalid due to insufficient contact information.

Risk rating

How 2107-2109 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, 113 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.9%
Moderate concern 10.4%
Severe concern 6.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
