Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1248-1252 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by Shat Doy & Helen C Mark Rev, consists of 4 units and was constructed in 1910. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring in 2016 when a comprehensive kitchen remodel was completed on the second floor, including electrical upgrades with new lighting, switches, receptacles, and modern appliances. Other notable improvements include the replacement of the main water supply line for unit 1252A in 2011 and a foundation rebuild at the east side of the rear building in 2010, which cost $18,000.

The building has maintained regular safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with routine inspections documented in 1999, 2001, 2008, and 2016. A notable violation occurred in October 2008 regarding an unsafe attic exit stair's wooden ladder, which was resolved by December 2008. The property has been diligent in obtaining necessary permits for street space usage, with multiple permits issued between 2009 and 2019, though most of these were for nominal costs of $1. Recent activity around the building (2023-2024) has primarily involved street-level maintenance issues such as parking sign repairs, street cleaning, and waste removal, all of which have been resolved promptly by city services.

Risk rating

How 1248-1252 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.

Number of units
