Initial analysis

The three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 1215 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Gregory J Wimmer Living Trust, was constructed in 1913 and has undergone significant improvements over the years. The most substantial renovation occurred in 2010-2011, when the property underwent a comprehensive $890,000 interior renovation including new finishes, fixtures, appliances, and seismic upgrades, followed by the installation of modern safety features such as a complete fire alarm system, automatic fire sprinkler system, and new dual-glazed window sashes. The building has been actively maintained, with recent plumbing work including backflow device replacements in 2015 and 2016, though there were some project cancellations in 2011 related to unit-specific electrical installations.

The property has experienced several routine safety inspections, including multiple inspections in 2016 and 2010, with some violations recorded in 2000 and 2010 related to window repairs, weatherproofing, and stair maintenance, all of which have been documented as abated. There were two notable fire alarm system-related violations in 2008-2010, both of which were closed. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved sidewalk cleaning and street maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2021-2025, though these are external to the building itself. The last documented building work was completed in 2016, with no major violations or safety concerns reported in recent years, suggesting the property has been well-maintained and brought up to current safety standards.

Risk rating

How 1215 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
37th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 709 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 35.3%
Moderate concern 26.8%
Severe concern 37.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
