Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 25 Morrell Place in Nob Hill, owned by Jackson D Wong Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923. The building's maintenance history shows several improvements over the years, including kitchen and bathroom renovations in 1986, aluminum window installations in 1988, and reroofing work in 1999. However, the property currently faces significant maintenance issues, with multiple active violations filed in September 2022 regarding damaged ceilings and walls, rodent infestations, and non-functioning appliances, all of which remain unresolved despite multiple Notices of Violation being issued between October and November 2022. A plumbing emergency was reported in September 2022 regarding a broken kitchen sink drainage system that caused flooding, and there was a previous plumbing complaint in 2004 that was promptly addressed within two days.

Recent external conditions around the property have been documented through multiple 311 calls, particularly between 2020 and 2025, showing recurring issues with street cleaning, garbage debris, and human waste on the street. There have also been several complaints about vehicles blocking driveways, with citations issued in 2024. While these external issues don't directly impact the building's interiors, they suggest ongoing challenges with property maintenance and neighborhood conditions. The building's historical permit records demonstrate past efforts to maintain and improve the property, but the current active violations indicate persistent maintenance challenges that have remained unaddressed for an extended period.

Risk rating

How 25 Morrell 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
38th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 698 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.3%
Moderate concern 35.3%
Severe concern 11.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
