AI summary

The 23-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 2969 Jackson Street, owned by the Slamovich & Recht Families, was constructed in 1928 in the Pacific Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably the completion of a comprehensive fire alarm system installation in October 2023 (cost: $82,075) to meet current safety codes, as well as reroofing work in 2022 (cost: $55,000) involving the installation of a multi-layered roofing system. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding moisture and mold issues. Multiple tenants reported water leaking through ceilings and walls in 2016-2017, with complaints about mold and maintenance response times. A concerning underground garage slab issue was documented in 2013, where a section reportedly sank 4-6 inches, though this was subsequently abated.

The building has undergone various unit-specific renovations over the years, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 404 and 504 between 2010-2021, with the most recent work involving plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2021. There have been some regulatory compliance issues, including expired boiler permits in 2021 that were promptly addressed. The property underwent a sprinkler system service in March 2023 that resulted in a violation being issued, though this was abated. Recent health and safety concerns continue to be addressed, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding mold, debris, and environmental health matters. While the building has experienced various maintenance and compliance challenges over the years, recent investment in safety systems and prompt response to violations suggests active management attention to building upkeep and regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 2969 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.
