1955 Jefferson St

Marina, SF 94123 0914006A 9 units · 3 fl · 1927

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1955 Jefferson St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1927
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

1955 Jefferson Street is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Mckeever Properties. The building's most recent significant improvement came in 2023, with an upgrade to the fire alarm system to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has undergone multiple unit renovations since 2012, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling in several apartments (units 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9), infrastructure improvements such as stairway and landing replacements, and various plumbing upgrades including sewer line work and water meter installations.

The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple fire alarm system problems documented between 2008-2017, though most were resolved promptly. A notable cluster of violations occurred in July 2010, including citations for alarm system maintenance, combustible storage, fire rating penetrations, extinguisher service, and exit/fire escape issues - all of which were subsequently corrected. Recent fire complaints in 2023 regarding alarm systems were also corrected. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including reports of lights not functioning properly in common areas (2013), electrical issues, and plumbing concerns such as a leaking toilet (2010). The property underwent various infrastructure improvements, including the repair of foundation issues in 2014 and the installation of new water meters in 2013. Historical records show an unsuccessful attempt to reduce unit count from 9 to 5 and extend the building by 14 feet at the rear, though this was ultimately closed without further action.

Risk rating

How 1955 Jefferson 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
21stpercentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 781 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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 complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
