Initial analysis

The three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 1390 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by Peggy Ow, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1907. Most recently, in October 2024, the building underwent a major electrical upgrade with the replacement of Federal Pacific sub panels in units #101, #202, #301, and #302, addressing a critical safety concern. The property has seen substantial maintenance and modernization efforts in recent years, including a vinyl flooring upgrade and kitchen rehabilitation in Unit 301 (2019), window and door replacements throughout the building (2019), garage door improvements (2020), and re-roofing (2019).

Of particular note is the completed soft-story retrofit in 2017, which brought the building into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building has maintained regular compliance with housing codes, with all identified violations from a routine inspection in 2000 resolved within three weeks. External maintenance issues have been addressed promptly through 311 calls, including sidewalk defects, sewer vent cover replacement, and graffiti removal. The property has undergone systematic unit improvements, with several units receiving kitchen and bathroom upgrades, most notably Unit 201 in 2018 (including electrical work). The building's maintenance history demonstrates ongoing investment in infrastructure and safety systems, with particular attention paid to electrical upgrades and structural improvements.

Risk rating

How 1390 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.
