Initial analysis

The property at 1801-1805 Jones Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, built in 1913 and currently owned by the Covington-Murray Living Trust. The building underwent significant proposed modifications in 2016, including plans for an accessory dwelling unit addition valued at $1.2 million, though recent permit activity from 2022 indicates only facade improvements are currently being pursued, following compliance with a 2017 complaint. A series of building violations from January 2017 remain active, primarily related to exterior paint issues including peeling paint, weatherproofing concerns, and lead paint disturbance warnings that require proper containment measures during remediation. These violations coincide with inspection reports that necessitated subsequent plumbing and electrical work in March 2017.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with completed work in 1990 installing hold-downs and shear walls in the storage and garage area, and a reroofing project completed in 1992. More recently, there have been multiple sanitation and maintenance calls logged through 311 services in 2024, primarily concerning street cleaning and general maintenance issues in the surrounding area. Two false fire alarms and one smoke detector activation without fire have been recorded, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The property's historical record also includes a two-unit condo conversion project and discussions of adding garage facilities, though these initiatives appear to have been cancelled or withdrawn in favor of other modifications.

Risk rating

How 1801-1805 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.
