Initial analysis

The property at 552-554 Jersey Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, owned by Jesse Yoder and constructed in 1900. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past three decades, with the most recent notable project starting in September 2022 that aimed to add a new garage, remodel the kitchen and bathrooms, and construct a new deck, though this permit currently shows a status of Triage. In 2020, there was an attempt to perform similar renovations including dry rot repairs to the lower unit, valued at $37,000, but this permit was ultimately cancelled. Historical records show earlier improvements including kitchen and bathroom installations in 1995, termite remediation in the same year, and a water heater replacement in 2010.

The property has experienced some recent maintenance challenges, with two separate sewage backup incidents reported in December 2023 through the PUC Sewer Operations department, though both cases were resolved through field work. There have been ongoing parking-related issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of blocked driveways and double parking incidents between 2023 and 2025, suggesting potential difficulties with parking enforcement in the area. A current open issue from October 2024 pertains to an overgrown tree near communication lines, which is being addressed by Urban Forestry. The building has undergone several planning reviews, including a Discretionary Review that was approved for the 2022 remodel project, and there is a record of a tenant buyout in 2016 for $74,000 involving one tenant. The property has maintained its original wood horizontal siding, with no reported changes to its architectural features.

Risk rating

How 552-554 Jersey 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
96th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 75 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 89.1%
Moderate concern 8.7%
Severe concern 2.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
