Initial analysis

The 6-unit apartment building at 170 Jersey Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Lee Barbara Ann Revocable Living Trust, was constructed in 1964 as a three-story multi-family residential structure. The property has undergone significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $85,000, and an upgrade to its fire alarm system in March 2024 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The recent electrical permit from November 2023 indicates a comprehensive fire alarm system modification, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all devices to ensure compatibility with the new fire alarm control panel.

The building's maintenance and safety history shows regular compliance with housing inspections, with routine apartment house inspections in 2002 and 2008 showing no active issues. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding parking enforcement for driveway blocking between 2023-2024, and some street cleaning matters, these are typical urban issue complaints and do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. The property has maintained its safety compliance status as a Tier 3 soft-story building, with all required retrofitting work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued. The building's documented history reveals a proactive approach to maintaining safety standards, particularly in earthquake preparedness and fire safety systems.

Risk rating

How 170 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
36th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1203 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 63.6%
Moderate concern 17.7%
Severe concern 18.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
