Initial analysis

The property at 901-909 Jackson Street is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Yuet Ping Lee Lei Tr. The building underwent several significant improvements in 2003, including accessibility upgrades with the installation of a handicap toilet, electrical system upgrades (200A main service and panel), and interior modifications for a grocery store, though the grocery store installation initially proceeded without proper permits, leading to a violation that was abated in 2008. More recently, in July 2020, serious concerns were raised regarding the building's maintenance, with violations filed related to lead-based paint hazards and weatherproofing issues on the siding. These violations were officially abated by December 2020.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external maintenance concerns on the surrounding public infrastructure, with multiple reports in 2023 and 2024 regarding garbage and debris, sidewalk cleaning, and encampment issues, though these were primarily street-level concerns rather than building-specific problems. The property has a history of parking enforcement issues in the immediate vicinity, with multiple citations issued between 2020 and 2021. Planning records indicate historical efforts to establish a small fast-food restaurant or grocery store at this location, with various proposals being approved or closed over the years.

Risk rating

How 901-909 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.
