Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2701 Jackson Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Jack And Son Sf Llc, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. The property has seen considerable maintenance and upgrades between 2017 and 2019, including electrical system improvements with an upgrade from 220 to 400 amp service, re-roofing work completed in 2017 ($40,000), and substantial unit renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 1 and 3 with associated electrical and plumbing upgrades. The building's infrastructure has been modernized with the installation of individual gas meters for all units in 2019 and various street space permits issued in 2018-2019.

Historical records indicate some serious maintenance issues in the early 2000s, including multiple violations in 2001 related to interior surfaces, heating systems, fire safety, and damaged walls, though these were abated by 2014. A 2002 complaint reported a roof leak, electrical issues, and mold problems, while a 2017 inspection cited concerns about fire escape condition and building exterior maintenance. Most concerning was a 2012 fire complaint regarding combustible materials, which was promptly corrected. Recent history includes a 2023 complaint about construction noise, though this has since been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows active management with regular permits for repairs and upgrades, though some issues such as the 2017 complaint about exterior peeling paint and fire escape concerns appear to remain unresolved as of the latest inspection. Three fire incidents have been recorded, though none resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage, and a 2012 combustible materials issue was promptly addressed. The immediate vicinity has had various recent complaints regarding street conditions and parking, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2701 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.
