Initial analysis

The property at 1514-1516 Jones Street in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by the Edmund Y & Nora D Quan Family. The building's maintenance history shows several window upgrades over the decades, including the installation of 10 aluminum windows in 1984 and 5 vinyl windows in 2000, as well as a street space permit issued in 2006. A routine housing inspection in 1999 was conducted and resolved the same day, with no findings indicating ongoing concerns.

Recent history of the property indicates several maintenance and service-related issues, with the most significant being a damaged side sewer vent cover reported in November 2023. The building has experienced periodic issues with street cleanliness, including missed waste collection in November 2023 and instances of loose garbage in March and October 2021. There was also a tree vandalism incident in September 2022 that resulted in tree removal. Parking enforcement was required twice in February 2023 for sidewalk parking violations, and several other service requests such as graffiti removal and sign defacement were addressed in 2021. Two minor fire-related incidents were recorded, neither involving civilian injuries. Notably, there was one tenant buyout recorded for the address 1516 Jones Street in October 2018, involving one tenant receiving $15,000, though this transaction's context and implications are not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 1514-1516 Jones 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.
