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.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 3028-3030 Jackson 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 1900
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
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

This three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located at 3028-3030 Jackson Street in Pacific Heights was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by the Joyce Y Chan Survivor's Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past three decades, including a bathroom remodel in Unit #1A in 2013 ($12,000), replacement of the entry canopy in 2003 ($6,000), and work on the entry platform in 2001 ($1,000). The property has experienced notable maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2003 when multiple fire safety violations were documented, including problems with fire extinguishers, egress obstructions, security requirements, and weatherproofing of siding. These violations were addressed and abated by October 2003. A routine safety inspection in 2014 indicated the need for battery-operated smoke detectors at the top of enclosed stairs, which was subsequently resolved.

The building has a history of infrastructure concerns, including reports of hot water issues in 1996, concerns about garbage management in 2004, and a complaint about insufficient lighting in common areas. Since 2022, there have been several reports of garbage and debris issues near the property, with the most recent complaints occurring in 2023-2024. The property also experienced a minor fire incident (classified as "100 Fire, other") with no civilian injuries reported, though the exact date and full details are not specified in the records. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 have primarily concerned sidewalk and street maintenance issues, including temporary moving sign requests in early 2018. While many historical violations and complaints have been resolved, the building continues to experience periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding waste management and street cleaning.

Risk rating

How 3028-3030 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

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
35thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 626 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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