Initial analysis

The 24-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1025 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by Jackson16 Llc, has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system replacement in June 2023 costing over $35,000, and a mandatory soft-story retrofit that was completed in 2018 (Tier 4) at a cost of $138,500. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with the most recent violation issued in November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, following previous concerns about sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and blocked exits between 2006 and 2022, though many of these were promptly corrected. Historical records show a cluster of violations from 2000-2009, including heating system deficiencies, security requirements, and various interior surface maintenance issues, all of which were eventually addressed.

The property's maintenance history indicates consistent attention to major systems, including a 2023 electrical upgrade to meet current codes and a 2018 structural modification to strengthen the laundry and lobby areas. While the building has a number of 311 calls and complaints on record from 2021 to 2024 regarding exterior conditions such as garbage debris and temporary street signs, these appear to be primarily maintenance and administrative matters rather than safety concerns. A notable incident was reported in 2003 regarding a bulging and cracked ceiling, which was resolved within three months. The building underwent regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2000, 2001, 2009, 2010, and 2016, indicating ongoing oversight of living conditions. The most recent fire safety measures and historical pattern of addressing violations suggest current management is responsive to regulatory requirements, though the building's age (built in 1926) means periodic maintenance and updates to systems continue to be necessary.

Risk rating

How 1025 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
8th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 1035 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.

Building size

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

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 8.4%
Moderate concern 59.0%
Severe concern 32.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
