Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 152-162 Jasper Place in Telegraph Hill, owned by Jennifer Pau Lo, has undergone several significant renovations and faced notable challenges since its construction in 1907. Most recently, in August 2023, the building received a $20,000 reroofing update, replacing the existing tar/gravel with 3-layer modified bitumen. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with documented water leaks through windows in February 2023 and internal plumbing problems in 2021. In early 2023, the building faced multiple building code violations related to lead paint hazards, ceiling damage, window repairs, and various permit-related issues, though these were all abated by November 2023.

The building has undergone substantial structural improvements, including a major foundation replacement project in 2017 that involved removing brick foundations and installing a new concrete foundation with tie beams and shear walls ($80,000). In recent years, significant interior improvements were made, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2020 ($22,000) and earlier similar renovations in 2014. A concerning pattern of maintenance issues emerged in 2013, with complaints about mold, plumbing problems, and safety concerns regarding stairs and handrails, though these were subsequently addressed. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to structural and maintenance needs, as evidenced by the thorough handling of recent violations and ongoing building improvements, though the frequency of water-related issues remains notable.

Risk rating

How 152-162 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.
