Initial analysis

1324 Jackson Street is a 3-story, 15-unit multi-family residential building in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Ronald Chung. The building has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the years, including a mandatory seismic retrofit completed in 2016 at a cost of $40,000, replacement of 14 Federal Pacific sub panels (November 2024), foundation repairs in 2003, and window replacements in 2008. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues that have impacted resident comfort and safety, with multiple complaints about heating systems (including a recent no heat complaint in Unit 6 from November 2024), and several fire safety violations including an active 2024 complaint regarding the fire escape drop ladder. The property has consistently required attention to its basic systems, with historical problems including inadequate heat in 1999, stair repairs needed in 2003, and various fire safety concerns. Recent issues (2024) include concerns about weather proofing, painting, lead paint hazards, and boiler maintenance, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has achieved Tier 2 Soft Story compliance, and various historical violations related to windows, stairs, and fire safety from 2003 were resolved by 2005.

Risk rating

How 1324 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, 1001 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 13.8%
Moderate concern 29.3%
Severe concern 56.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
