Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 901 Jarboe Ave in Bernal Heights, owned by the Herglotz Maxwell Family Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance updates since its construction in 1935. Most recently, in 2015, the property received substantial improvements including dry rot repairs, replacement of 18 windows on the western half of the building, and repair of street-visible stucco, all of which totaled approximately $34,000. Each unit has been modernized with the installation of tankless water heaters, new central furnaces, electrical upgrades including rewiring of Units 3 and 4, and extensive kitchen and bathroom renovations. The building has a documented history of addressing maintenance issues, including previous dry rot repairs in 2010 and reroofing in 1993.

The property has undergone two routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services, in 2002 and 2008, which revealed several fire safety concerns including fire extinguisher requirements and fire escape ladder maintenance, though all violations were resolved. A recent fire complaint regarding combustible materials was filed in October 2017 but was corrected by January 2018. The building experienced a sewage backup issue from a side sewer vent in December 2024, which was resolved by the Public Utilities Commission. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 to early 2025 primarily relate to abandoned vehicles and animal control services in the vicinity, with one open case regarding a sidewalk defect. While the building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and prompt addressing of violations, the concentration of recent 311 calls and the recent sewer issue may indicate some infrastructure challenges in the surrounding area, though these do not necessarily reflect directly on the building's condition.

Risk rating

How 901 Jarboe 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
