2137-2141 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 2137-2141 Jones Street in Russian Hill, owned by Jason N. Fessel and Sarah Mars, has undergone significant improvements since 2018, with particular attention to safety and structural upgrades. The most substantial work has focused on seismic retrofitting, with three related permits issued in 2019 totaling $145,000 for voluntary seismic upgrades, including moisture mitigation work on the retaining wall.

In 2019, the building underwent rear deck and stair replacements to bring them into compliance with current codes, an investment of $25,000. Additional improvements included a 63 square foot infill addition constructed in 2018 ($15,000), re-wiring work for the downstairs addition in 2020, and a sewer house-trap replacement in 2021. The property has maintained a relatively low incidence of service calls, with only three 311 calls recorded since 2008, none of which indicate any pressing building-related issues.

These calls primarily concerned parking enforcement (2023) and general street cleaning (2008, 2012). The multiple permits for deck work and seismic improvements, including revisions to address moisture protection, suggest proactive maintenance and safety concerns by the property owners. The planning records confirm the proper completion of rear egress stair replacements and ground floor fill-in work, indicating adherence to building codes and regulations.
