Initial analysis

The 10-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2351 Jackson Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1900 and now owned by the Kathleen M Lucas Trust, has undergone significant safety upgrades and maintenance in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the entire building underwent a comprehensive electrical upgrade, including replacement of knob and tube wiring and sub-panel installations in all ten units, along with an upgrade of the main electrical service from 100-amps to 200-amps. The building had previously completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (classified as Tier 3) to improve seismic safety, followed by related foundation improvements in 2018. Fire safety systems received attention with the installation of low-frequency sounders and a new fire alarm control panel in 2021, and two fire alarm-related complaints were promptly resolved, with the most recent in October 2022.

Historical issues included a notable water intrusion and mold incident in 2019 affecting Unit 6 and a series of fire safety violations in 2002, including problems with fire escape ladders, dryer lint accumulation, and fire extinguisher maintenance, though these were all abated by December 2002. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including re-roofing work in 2016. Recent building complaints have been minimal, with the most recent in September 2023 regarding unauthorized post-construction work, which was quickly addressed. The property has experienced three fire incidents, all of which were either false alarms or non-fire activations with no civilian injuries reported. The building's solid record of addressing safety and maintenance issues through proper permits and inspections suggests ongoing compliance with current building codes and safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 2351 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, 751 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.3%
Moderate concern 33.5%
Severe concern 17.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
