Initial analysis

The 1481-1485 Jackson Street property is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Nob Hill, originally constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Tek Management Trust. The building is under mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program requirements and has been identified as Tier 3 Non-Compliant, with an active violation filed in September 2019 regarding failure to complete seismic retrofit work and associated permit applications. The property has undergone several significant construction projects in recent years, including the proposed addition of an ADU in the basement, with construction work starting in 2019 costing approximately $180,000. This project has required multiple permit revisions and soft story mitigation work, with the most recent permits issued in 2024 for ramp installation and continued soft story retrofit work.

The building has a history of various maintenance issues and code violations, particularly evident in a 2010 complaint that documented multiple problems including water damage, electrical issues, and security concerns. Several permits related to routine maintenance and system upgrades have been issued over the years, including repairs to address these violations. Recent activity around the property indicates typical urban challenges, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to parking issues and sidewalk cleanliness, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The property's regulatory history shows ongoing efforts to address seismic safety requirements through various permit applications and revisions, though its current non-compliant status under the Soft Story Program carries significant weight in evaluating the building's overall condition and safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 1481-1485 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.
