Initial analysis

The four-story, 16-unit apartment building at 1120-1126 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by the George & Rose Yee Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and improvements since its construction in 1908. Most notably, recent work includes a comprehensive fire safety upgrade in 2024 that encompasses new fire alarm devices, manual pull stations, smoke detectors, and the replacement of existing bells with horn/strobe units featuring 520Hz low frequency sounders. The building has also successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit, achieving Tier 2 compliance, which was completed in 2017 at a cost of $60,000. Historical building maintenance records show attention to basic infrastructure needs, including concrete work in the backyard (2008), reroofing (1995), and stairway wall improvements (1994).

The building's history includes several fire safety-related issues that have been addressed over time, including a 2011 incident involving a malfunctioning fire alarm system and rodent concerns, as well as multiple violations in 2010 related to egress obstruction, fire alarm maintenance, and general building maintenance. Recent concerns have included pest control issues in early 2024 and multiple reports of garbage and debris in the vicinity. The property's maintenance record shows regular annual inspections through the years, and most historical violations and complaints have been properly addressed and closed. The building is currently undergoing additional safety enhancements, including the installation of a new backflow prevention system as of April 2024.

Risk rating

How 1120-1126 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
18th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 922 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 11.2%
Moderate concern 67.4%
Severe concern 21.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
