1134 Jackson St

Nob Hill, SF 94133 0182009 6 units · 3 fl · 1912

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1134 Jackson St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1912
2 or more units

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1912
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1134 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by Toms & Jeannie Soo Hoo Rev, has undergone significant improvements over the past few years, with major focus on safety and structural maintenance. Most recently, in late 2024, the property completed upgrades to its fire alarm system including the addition of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, along with plumbing work involving drain line replacements. Earlier in 2023, the building underwent substantial maintenance including dry rot repairs and siding restoration work totaling $50,000, as well as the repair of two stairs and roof deck railings. The building has also completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

The property's maintenance history shows proactive attention to safety systems, with upgrades to fire safety equipment and plumbing infrastructure. Historical records from 2000-2002 indicate several violations related to fire safety and plumbing systems, including issues with combustible storage and expired fire extinguishers, though these were promptly addressed within weeks of being cited. Routine safety inspections have been conducted in 2000, 2002, 2008, and 2016, indicating regular oversight of building conditions. Recent 311 calls (2017-2024) show typical urban building challenges including reports of graffiti, parking issues, and occasional debris, though these are primarily external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1134 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
41stpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 664 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
