Initial analysis

The four-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 1005 Jones Street, currently owned by Abuyaghi Properties LLC, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone significant infrastructure improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2017 as a Tier 4 building, with improvements including steel frame and shear wall installations at a cost of approximately $74,000, enhancing the building's seismic safety. The property has been regularly maintained and updated, with the latest major work being performed in late 2022 and 2024 related to AT&T's rooftop equipment, including antenna and battery installations totaling over $72,000 in improvements. The building's electrical system has seen several upgrades, including a distribution panel upgrade from 60 to 100 amps in 2003.

The building has undergone routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2001, 2010, 2016, and most recently in 2019, with all issues addressed and resolved. Historical violations from 2001 included various safety concerns such as damaged concrete pavement, defective smoke detectors, loose stairs, and a rusty fire escape cable, though all of these were abated by October 2001. More recent concerns were primarily related to exterior maintenance and utility requirements, with no active violations on record. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as noted in recent 311 calls, primarily relating to street cleaning and abandoned items, with the most recent case (as of December 2024) being for garbage and debris. The building has had five non-injury fire-related incidents recorded, primarily consisting of medical assistance calls and malfunctioning smoke detector activations, suggesting no significant fire safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1005 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
76th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 108 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 20.3%
Moderate concern 58.3%
Severe concern 21.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
