Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 960-962 Jackson St in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1927 and currently owned by Brenda Hoi Ling Tan. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past three decades, with the most recent major work completed in 2019 involving substantial interior upgrades including new floorboards and kitchen renovations costing $17,200. The property's safety features have been consistently upgraded, with a rear fire escape installation completed in 1996 and basement room additions completed in 2001. Previous maintenance work includes multiple reroofing projects performed in 1991 and 2008, demonstrating regular upkeep of essential building systems.

The building's history includes one notable complaint from 2004 regarding an allegedly illegal in-law apartment that raised fire safety concerns, though this complaint was marked as abated within one month. The property's external environment has experienced periodic issues with parking enforcement, including multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and illegal parking between 2013 and 2019, as well as one instance of graffiti in 2013 that was subsequently resolved. While these exterior issues have been addressed through normal enforcement channels, they occurred outside the building itself and do not directly impact the structural integrity or safety of the residence.

Risk rating

How 960-962 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

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 68 are predicted to be safer.
