Initial analysis

The 6-story, 60-unit apartment building at 1155 Jones Street in Nob Hill, owned by Nob Hill Place Partners Lp, has undergone extensive renovations since 2014, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom updates in multiple units (105, 107, 208, 305, 307, 309, 310, 401, 402, 403, 405, 409, 410, 502, 503, 510, and 606). Recent work includes a $25,000 renovation of Apt 510 in 2020, and there have been significant electrical upgrades throughout the building, including a voluntary fire alarm system replacement in 2015. The building has experienced recurring issues with its boiler permit compliance, with violations noted in 2023 and 2015, though these were abated by March 2016. Recent concerns include a mold complaint filed in January 2024, and historical issues with plumbing systems in 2017 that resulted in wastewater flooding incidents.

The property has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, including elevator service interruptions in 2015 during passenger elevator renovation, multiple fire code violations (including a recent sleeping area requirement violation in November 2023), and various heating system compliance issues. A significant cluster of renovation activity occurred between 2014-2018, addressing multiple units simultaneously. Recent complaints (2024) have focused on mold and some exterior maintenance issues, while building systems improvements have generally followed proper permitting procedures, with most violations being promptly addressed. The building's history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of basic systems, though some recurring issues, particularly with the boiler system, have persisted over multiple years.

Risk rating

How 1155 Jones 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
0th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 1125 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 6.3%
Moderate concern 55.4%
Severe concern 38.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
