Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1050-1054 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by Michael L Lee, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910. The property has undergone several significant inspections and maintenance periods, most notably facing multiple violations in 2000-2001 that were resolved by December 2001, including issues with cracked stairs, damaged doors, combustibles in storage areas, and deficiencies in fire safety equipment. A reroofing project was initiated in 1996, and in 1986 the building was brought into code compliance. More recent routine inspections have occurred in 2008 and 2016, with no active violations recorded since the 2000-2001 period.

The property's external environment has experienced numerous maintenance issues in 2024, primarily regarding garbage and debris, with several reports to the Department of Public Works and Recology between March and December 2024. There have also been multiple reports of illegal sidewalk parking in the vicinity during the same period, with responses from parking enforcement resulting in citations or inability to locate the vehicles. While these external issues do not directly affect the building's internal conditions, they may impact the general accessibility and cleanliness of the immediate area around the property. The building's historical record shows past concerns with safety features and maintenance, though these were addressed through the appropriate channels, and there have been no recent building violations or complaints regarding the structure itself.

Risk rating

How 1050-1054 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
