Initial analysis

The two-story mixed-use building at 1605-1607 Jones Street in Nob Hill, currently owned by the Maida Y Wong Living Trust, contains 4 residential units above ground-floor commercial space and was constructed in 1913. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a significant reroofing project in 2008 costing $20,250. There was a notable building complaint in 2019 regarding unpermitted interior demolition work in a ground-floor commercial unit, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

Recent municipal records from 2024-2025 show ongoing maintenance issues in the immediate vicinity, including an open pavement defect case affecting the sidewalk and curb. The area has experienced periodic issues with garbage, debris, and sanitation concerns, with multiple cases related to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance reported and resolved throughout 2024. There have been recurring issues with abandoned vehicles in the area in late 2024, though these were determined to have no merit upon investigation. Graffiti was reported on multiple occasions in mid-2024, affecting both a mailbox and the building's commercial area, though these cases were transferred to USPS jurisdiction for resolution. Two fire department responses are recorded, though neither involved civilian injuries and one was classified as a false alarm. The building's permit history shows various permitted and withdrawn projects from 1991-2008, including awning installations and sidewalk work, with most permits having been completed or were not pursued.

Risk rating

How 1605-1607 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.
