Initial analysis

The 18-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 900 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by CCDC Small Sites LLC, has undergone significant maintenance and upgrades since acquiring the property. Built in 1912, this historic building has seen substantial electrical improvements in 2021-2022, including complete rewiring of multiple units (1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 14, and 15) with new outlets, lights, and subpanels. Building-wide improvements included a new accessible restroom for commercial retail space in 2021, roofing replacement, and fire system upgrades. Plumbing improvements have been ongoing, with the most recent work completed in July 2024 involving a new main water line installation. The building is compliant with soft-story retrofit requirements (Tier 4) and has received recent fire safety updates, though has experienced recurring alarm system issues as evidenced by multiple fire complaints and violations between 2019 and 2024.

Recent concerns include an active citation from January 2023 regarding unpermitted awnings, which the owner is attempting to address through the awning amnesty program. There was a significant hot water system complaint in 2022 following a reported reduction in water heaters, though this appears to have been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to fire safety systems, with violations being consistently addressed once cited. The property has experienced recurring issues with discarded debris and garbage management in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024. Historical violations from 2004 and 2014 regarding fire safety and sanitation were resolved, and there was a brief period in 2015 involving unpermitted renovations to Unit 16 that was subsequently addressed through proper permits. The building's fire detection and alarm systems have required ongoing maintenance and repairs, with the most recent violation issued in July 2024.

Risk rating

How 900 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.

Neighborhood percentile
