Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1518-1522 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by Hom Family Revoc Management, was constructed in 1909 and has undergone several significant maintenance activities over its lifetime. The most notable recent structural work was a reroofing project completed in 2011 at a cost of $6,500. The building had two routine housing inspections in 2000 and 2008, with the 2000 inspection revealing multiple violations related to fire safety and gas meter instructions, all of which were promptly abated within three weeks of citation. Since then, there have been no recorded building violations or major safety concerns.

The property has experienced several fire alarm incidents, all of which were determined to be false alarms or unintentional activations, with no civilian injuries reported in any of these cases. The surrounding area has seen some parking-related issues, with multiple reports of damaged parking meters between 2014 and 2022, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent activity near the property includes a parking enforcement call in May 2023. There have been various street-level maintenance issues in the vicinity, including reports of graffiti, loose garbage, and an encampment, all of which were addressed by city services. While the building's location has experienced periodic neighborhood challenges, the property itself has maintained good compliance with housing codes and safety regulations since the early 2000s.

Risk rating

How 1518-1522 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.
