Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2703-2705 Jackson Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1900 and owned by Paul M. Kitchen, has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades over recent years. The property has completed major improvements including the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system in 2023 (fire sprinkler system with 79 heads and new fire alarm system), complete plumbing overhauls (including seven bathrooms, four kitchens, and new radiant heating systems), and electrical upgrades for all units. A substantial remodeling project was completed in 2019-2020, which included raising the roof, adding dormers, installing a new elevator, and expanding Unit 4. The building's infrastructure has been extensively modernized with new foundations, windows, and skylights, along with the installation of individual unit furnaces and updated utilities.

The building previously faced several compliance issues in 2017, regarding lead paint hazards and fire safety systems, but these were all resolved by February 2018. Historical records show regular maintenance and improvements, including a fire alarm panel replacement in 2003 and various routine inspections. Recent incidents have been primarily limited to construction-related noise complaints and parking issues in the vicinity, which are not directly related to building conditions. The property's maintenance history demonstrates significant investment in modernization and safety upgrades, with all recent building permits marked as complete or in process as of 2024, including new electrical systems, elevator installation, and comprehensive plumbing improvements throughout the building.

Risk rating

How 2703-2705 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
82th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 173 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 69.4%
Moderate concern 21.7%
Severe concern 8.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
