Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1915 Jackson Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Robert and Melissa Ricci, has undergone numerous significant improvements and faced several serious issues over recent years. Most notably, the property has experienced multiple fire safety concerns, with violations issued in 2024 related to the sprinkler/standpipe systems and multiple fire code violations, including violations for sleeping area requirements in April-May 2024, and violations issued in December 2023 for extinguishers and alarm systems. The building has seen substantial recent renovations, including a $60,000 kitchen expansion and skylight installation in 2021, followed by related electrical and plumbing work completed in 2022, as well as the replacement of two furnaces with high-efficiency units in 2022. The property is currently undergoing reroofing work valued at $38,000, expected to be completed in 2024, while maintaining historical improvements including a bathroom remodel completed in 2019.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of active maintenance and improvements, particularly regarding safety systems. Between 2021-2022, the installation of a fire sprinkler system and monitoring equipment was attempted, though the system subsequently generated several violation notices in 2024. The property underwent interior modifications to infill an atrium and update the kitchen/dining areas, with all work completed within buildable areas according to planning records. The building faced some historical maintenance issues, including a housing inspection complaint in 2006 regarding hollow doors and insulation concerns, though these appear to have been resolved. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues like driveway blocking and street cleaning matters rather than building-specific problems. The property has maintained its status as a two-unit flats/duplex building since its construction in 1939, though some violations erroneously noted it as a high-rise structure at 2000 Washington Street, which appears to be a clerical error.

Risk rating

How 1915 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 (ZIP code)

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
