Initial analysis

The 21-unit multi-family residential building at 748-752 Jackson Street, owned by Chew Lun Realty Co, was constructed in 1908 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the years. Most recently, there is an open violation from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, while previous fire safety matters in 2022 concerning alarm systems and sprinkler systems were documented as violations, though no merit was found in some inspections. The building has undergone several important safety upgrades, including a 2021 fire alarm system upgrade ($31,162) that replaced various components to meet current codes, and a 2017 reroofing project ($12,800) followed by drywall repairs due to roof leaks.

The property has a history of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded between 2019-2022 related to sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and extinguisher maintenance, though many were ultimately categorized as "No Merit" or were abated. Earlier building inspections in 2004 and 2015 revealed multiple issues including problems with lead paint, fire escape maintenance, and general building upkeep, all of which were subsequently resolved. Recent maintenance activity includes plumbing work for a floor sink installation in 2019, and various 311 calls in 2023-2025 primarily related to sidewalk cleaning and waste management, with one recent graffiti incident in February 2024 that remains open.

Risk rating

How 748-752 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.
