Initial analysis

The four-story multi-family residential building at 1931-1941 Jones Street in Russian Hill, containing 8 units and built in 1924, has undergone extensive recent renovations and improvements. The property, currently owned by Kathryn Hurley, has seen significant bathroom and laundry room remodels in 2024, including the installation of curbless showers and wall-hung toilets, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed in March 2024. Prior improvements include a substantial bathroom and closet reconfiguration in 2023, and a series of comprehensive updates between 2017-2020 that encompassed multiple unit remodels, window replacements, and seismic retrofitting work completed in 2014. The building's infrastructure has also been upgraded, with a complete sewer lateral and house trap replacement performed in October 2024.

The property has maintained good overall compliance with building codes and safety standards, including completion of mandatory seismic retrofitting as a Tier 3 soft-story building. While there is one recent complaint regarding scaffolding placement in April 2024, and multiple parking violation reports from late 2023, these issues were either resolved or are not directly related to building safety or habitability. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to essential systems, including plumbing, electrical, and heating improvements, with particular attention paid to preserving the building's historic window features through appropriate replacement programs. The property has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with no significant violations noted.

Risk rating

How 1931-1941 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.
