Initial analysis

The 21-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1737 Jackson Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Olive Grove Capital Lp and built in 1964, has undergone significant recent safety and infrastructure upgrades. As of early 2025, major work is in progress or recently completed, including comprehensive fire alarm system improvements with new detectors, pull stations, and an upgraded Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) at a cost of $68,328. The building has also seen substantial electrical upgrades, with all units (201-307) receiving Federal Pacific Electric panel relocations and upgrades in December 2024. Multiple units (102, 107, 202, 206, 207, 301, 302, 304, 305, 306) have received kitchen and bathroom remodels and plumbing updates between 2014 and 2016, totaling several hundred thousand dollars in improvements.

The building has experienced recurring safety system issues, particularly with elevators and boiler permits. Notable recent concerns include a period without functional elevators in March-April 2022, various boiler permit violations (most recently in 2018), and persistent fire safety system violations. Between 2012 and 2023, multiple fire safety violations have been documented regarding alarm systems, sprinkler systems, combustible materials, and emergency lighting. The building underwent significant structural work in 2009-2010, including underpinning work and the installation of two new boilers (199k BTUs) in 2012, as well as shotcrete wall improvements in 2013. While there have been multiple fire incidents, they have primarily been false alarms or false calls, with no recorded civilian injuries. The most recent fire violation from October 2023 pertains to sleeping area requirements.

Risk rating

How 1737 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.

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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 32.7%
Moderate concern 54.4%
Severe concern 12.8%
