Initial analysis

The 18-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1344 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, built in 1909 and currently owned by House Trust LLC, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly concerning windows and fire safety systems. Most recently, in 2023-2024, there have been multiple complaints about bathroom window problems, with reports indicating safety concerns regarding windows that could fall or not remain open properly. These issues seem to have persisted despite some attempts at repair and replacement. The building has undergone several significant maintenance projects, including the replacement of wood stairs in 2020 (completed), installation of new boilers and storage tanks (2020), and updates to waste stacks in 2019. There have been multiple fire safety violations documented over the years, with the most recent violations in 2022 and 2020 related to alarm systems, exits, and storage obstructions, though these have been marked as abated. The building has also seen various plumbing upgrades, including individual flue piping installation and gas line repairs between 2010 and 2020.

Historical records show the building experienced fire damage in 1998, required exit stair repairs in 2000, and faced multiple violations in 2004 relating to mold, plumbing, and interior surfaces, all of which were abated by 2005. Between 2015 and 2020, there were recurring issues with fire safety systems, including violations related to alarm systems, electrical systems, and exit maintenance, though most of these were corrected or closed. A significant recent development involves a pending closure regarding allegedly illegal PDR (production, distribution, and repair) use of the property since 2022, reportedly creating noise concerns. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing both urgent safety concerns and routine upkeep, though some recent window issues suggest continuing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 1344 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.
