Initial analysis

1801 Jackson Street is a 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1955 in the Pacific Heights neighborhood, currently owned by Gallina Family LP. The building has undergone several significant improvements, most notably completing its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (classified as a Tier 3 property) at a cost of $80,000, and a voluntary seismic upgrade with partial foundation replacement in 2008. The property has maintained efforts to upgrade individual units, with multiple renovations in the mid-2000s including electrical, plumbing, and energy-efficient upgrades such as the installation of fluorescent lighting in units #3, #5, #6, and #8. During its history, the building has experienced some maintenance and compliance issues, including a notable electrical complaint in 2013 involving unit #5 that was subsequently resolved through proper permitting and electrical code upgrades, and a boiler permit violation in 2010 that was corrected in 2011.

The building's recent history shows consistent attention to safety and code compliance, with the fire department responding to several false alarms and system malfunctions between 2018-2022, though no civilian injuries were reported in any incidents. The property has had regular routine safety inspections, with recent fire complaints in 2022 regarding hazardous materials and alarm systems being resolved with "No Merit" and "Condition Corrected" dispositions, respectively. A complete roofing replacement was performed in 2009, and the building's maintenance history shows ongoing attention to both structural and unit-specific improvements. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as graffiti, garbage, and street maintenance, rather than building-specific problems, suggesting the property is being maintained according to current codes and requirements.

Risk rating

How 1801 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

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 847 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 33.9%
Moderate concern 45.6%
Severe concern 20.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
