2154-2156 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-unit residential building at 2154-2156 Jones Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1935, currently owned by Kenneth T. Leong.

The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, including comprehensive electrical upgrades with the installation of a 200-amp overhead service with three meters and sub-panels in 2012, followed by a kitchen and bathroom remodel in unit 2154 in 2014 that included extensive electrical work with new fixtures and appliances. Recent maintenance is evidenced by a reroofing project completed in 2020 at a cost of $10,000. However, the building has experienced recurring sewer infrastructure issues, with four documented sewer backup incidents between 2022 and 2024, all involving the 4-inch sewer vent system.

These persistent plumbing problems, which occurred in March, September, and November 2023, and September 2024, represent the most significant recent concerns affecting the building's infrastructure. The property has also had occasional issues with street cleanliness and debris, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for garbage and furniture removal between 2022 and 2024, though these appear to be external rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent incidents include a sewage discharge from the side sewer vent in September 2024 and multiple reports of abandoned furniture on the street outside the building.
