Initial analysis

The 14-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 730-734 Jackson Street, owned by the Chinese Cemetery Association, was constructed in 1908 and is currently undergoing a change of use from retail to restaurant on the first floor, with permit costs estimated at $128,000. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past two decades, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 costing $32,106, which included the installation of addressable smoke detectors, horn strobes, low-frequency horns in residential sleeping areas, and a wireless communicator. Previous fire safety work included a 2012 fire system remodel and the addition of fire safety equipment in 2019, with all issues subsequently corrected.

The building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, particularly in 2002 when multiple fire safety violations were documented, including problems with smoke enclosures, fire escape ladders, and combustible storage, though these were all abated within two months. A 2022 complaint regarding unpermitted work for a walk-in freezer installation was filed but is no longer active. Recent 311 calls between 2020-2025 primarily concern street cleaning and waste management issues, with multiple reports about toters being left out continuously and various debris requiring attention. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure, including a 2010 reroofing project, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades, suggesting ongoing efforts to maintain building safety and compliance with current codes.

Risk rating

How 730-734 Jackson 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.
