Initial analysis

The 4-story, 17-unit multi-family residential building at 1860 Jackson Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Summit Land Co, has undergone several significant improvements and faced recurring fire safety system challenges over the past decade. Most recently, in November 2024, work began to enhance the fire alarm system with new notifications and low-frequency sounders in compliance with SFFD requirements, following multiple fire system violations and complaints between 2022 and 2024 that were generally corrected promptly. The building has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades, including a 2020 sewer lateral replacement, 2019 fire system replacement with new control panel and smoke detectors, and various unit renovations. Notable historical maintenance includes repairs to interior lightwell stairs in 2019 and kitchen/bath remodels in units 402 and 501 in 2014.

The property has experienced several resident complaints and violations over the years, though most issues have been resolved. A significant cluster of violations in 2007 concerned interior surfaces including peeling paint on doors and baseboards, while a 2014 complaint alleged unpermitted work and mold issues related to unit renovations. Recent building complaints from 2020 noted elevator inspection concerns and a boiler permit issue that was promptly addressed. Routine safety inspections have been conducted periodically, with most violations being corrected. The building's parking area has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023/2024, though these do not directly impact resident safety or building operations.

Risk rating

How 1860 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
