Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 149-153 Jasper Place in Telegraph Hill, owned by the Chan Family Trust, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. Most notably, the property completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit work in 2017 at a cost of $80,000, bringing the building into compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. The building subsequently experienced a violation notice in September 2019 regarding soft-story compliance, which was resolved by January 2022. Other major repairs include a reroofing project completed in 2021 costing $10,500, and multiple building permits in 2020 related to revisions of previously approved work.

The property has maintained regular housing inspections over the years, with routine inspections in 2001, 2004, and 2006 all resolving without significant issues. Recent tenant concerns include an open noise complaint filed in June 2024, though most recent complaints regarding street cleaning and waste issues between 2019-2020 have been resolved. The building's soft-story retrofit program was formally completed with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued, and a 2023 Rent Board fee and housing inventory request was resolved, confirming proper exemption processing. The property's maintenance record shows active management response to both building and street-level issues, with most complaints being promptly addressed and resolved through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 149-153 Jasper Pl'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
