Initial analysis

The 24-unit apartment building at 1565 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by Nancy Mar Tr, is a 3-story structure built in 1907 that has undergone significant safety and modernization improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018, which included the installation of steel frames and plywood reinforcements. Major safety upgrades include the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system in 2018-2019, featuring new sprinklers throughout the first floor, a modern fire alarm system with control units and detectors, and a 400-amp electrical service upgrade to support improved safety systems. The building also added two new dwelling units in 2016 as part of a permitted expansion, followed by various infrastructure improvements including a new roofing system in 2019 and plumbing upgrades including drain repair work in 2020.

The building's history reveals a pattern of heating system issues between 2007-2008, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat during evening hours, though these problems were addressed and resolved. More recent fire safety inspections have shown no merit in complaints regarding alarm systems or sprinklers, with the most recent fire inspection in May 2023 confirming corrected conditions regarding fire extinguishers. The property has maintained compliance with various city programs, including the soft-story retrofit requirements, and has undergone significant modernization work including electrical system upgrades, residential wiring improvements, and the addition of new utility services for recent units. The building's exterior and common areas have experienced typical urban maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal, most recently in 2023-2024, indicating ongoing attention to building maintenance and resident safety.

Risk rating

How 1565 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.
