Initial analysis

The property at 165 Jordan Avenue, a 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1919, has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the past two decades. Most recently, in November 2022, a new Peerless steam boiler was installed, replacing an older unit, which represents a positive update to the building's heating system. Earlier improvements include a 200A electrical service upgrade with five meters in 2003, and two separate roofing projects in 2005 and 2008, indicating regular maintenance of critical building systems.

The building experienced multiple maintenance challenges between 1996 and 2004, with several complaints filed regarding various issues. Notable past concerns included water damage, interior surface problems, and smoke detector safety compliance issues in 2001, along with electrical system concerns in 1999 and heating system deficiencies in 1999. All these violations were eventually resolved, with records indicating completion dates between 1999 and 2005. The property's recent history (2011 onwards) shows no significant building violations or major complaints regarding the building systems themselves, suggesting improved maintenance practices. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the location between 2022 and 2024, these have primarily related to street and sidewalk conditions, parking issues, or external matters not directly affecting the building's habitability or systems.

Risk rating

How 165 Jordan Ave'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
36th percentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 174 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.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 66.6%
Moderate concern 20.7%
Severe concern 12.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
