Initial analysis

The 15-unit apartment building at 2095 Jackson Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Biltwell Construction Company, has shown consistent maintenance and modernization efforts since its construction in 1958. Most recently, in 2023, the building underwent an important upgrade with the installation of a new water heater. Between 2018 and 2020, significant interior improvements were made to Unit #201, including kitchen and bathroom renovations totaling over $44,000. The building has demonstrated a proactive approach to safety systems, particularly with a comprehensive elevator modernization project completed in 2015-2016 that included new fire alarm components, smoke detectors, and control modules, followed by regular maintenance of fire alarm systems evidenced by multiple fire complaints being promptly corrected. There have been recurring issues with the elevator system, particularly noted in 2009 and 2020, though these were eventually resolved. The building has experienced several fire safety system inspections and corrections, though most incidents recorded in the fire department reports were related to false alarms or system malfunctions rather than actual emergencies.

The property has maintained compliance with various safety requirements, with some historical violations related to fire safety systems and fire escape maintenance noted in 2002 and 2009, all of which were eventually abated. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and parking issues external to the building. The building underwent a tenant buyout in January 2019 affecting two tenants, and has shown regular maintenance patterns, including street space permits, plumbing upgrades, and fire safety system improvements. While there have been periodic issues with system malfunctions and false alarms, these appear to be typical for buildings of this age and were generally addressed promptly through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 2095 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
