AI summary

The 15-unit apartment building at 1371 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, operated by D. Souza-oliveira Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements since its construction in 1929. Most recently, in late 2023 and early 2024, the building received substantial electrical upgrades, including the installation of new subpanels in most units (completed in December 2023) and an upgraded fire alarm system (January 2024). The building had notable heating system issues documented in December 2015, when tenants reported inadequate heat during cold weather, leading to emergency inspections and subsequent violations regarding heating system maintenance and temperature requirements. These violations were abated in January 2016, and the building has since received new heating system components, including a steam boiler replacement in 2018 and backflow prevention device replacement in 2024.

The property has a history of addressing safety concerns, including a mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit completed in 2014, window upgrades in 2013, and multiple street space permits dating back to 1996. Recent complaints from 2024 (September) regarding rotten wood staircase in the fire escape and laundry room ventilation issues were being reviewed by Housing Inspection Services. Fire safety remains a focus, with multiple fire code violations issued in 2020 related to exits and emergency lighting, all of which were abated. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to plumbing systems, electrical systems, and emergency safety requirements, though some historical issues from 2000-2003 regarding heating, structural elements, and various systems have required attention.

Risk rating

How 1371 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, 945 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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 13.5%
Moderate concern 58.1%
Severe concern 28.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
