Initial analysis

2900-2902 Jackson Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Jackson Street Trust. The property has undergone extensive renovation work over the past two decades, with particular focus on basement modifications. Recent significant work includes a major foundation underpinning and deep peer basement creation project initiated in September 2023, valued at $355,500, to support a reinforced lower slab and create new basement levels. This follows a substantial history of basement-related construction, including multiple underpinning projects between 2018-2020, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades.

The building's renovation history has been marked by numerous complaints from neighbors between 2017-2023 regarding unpermitted work, extended construction periods, and concerns about safety. These complaints often referenced ongoing basement excavation work that reportedly lasted for years beyond expected completion dates. More recent permitted work, including the 2023 foundation project, appears to finally address these long-standing renovation issues. The property has also seen various infrastructure improvements including concrete stair replacements, electrical rewiring, and plumbing updates over the years, though some permits for these works were withdrawn or expired. Recent 311 calls in 2024 primarily relate to street-level issues such as illegal postings and waste removal, rather than building-specific concerns, indicating a possible stabilization of the property's construction activities. Planning records show that multiple project proposals have been submitted, with the most recent foundation work currently under review or in progress, suggesting that significant structural improvements are now being completed through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 2900-2902 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
98th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 19 are predicted to be safer.
