1950 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1950 Jones St in Russian Hill, owned by Louie Henry, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements. Between 2020 and 2024, all six units (Units 1-6) have received comprehensive upgrades, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system improvements, and plumbing renovations, with the most recent work completed in July 2023 on Unit 2 and in March 2024 on Unit 6. A critical soft-story retrofit was completed in 2019 at a cost of $138,000, bringing the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The building's fire safety systems are currently undergoing an upgrade, with a fire alarm system improvement permit filed in July 2023. The property has faced several regulatory challenges and incidents over its history. In 2019, there was a temporary violation related to the soft-story retrofit program, which was resolved by September 2021. In late 2020, there were complaints regarding construction safety and COVID-19 protocol compliance, though these were promptly addressed.

Historical issues include a 2014 incident involving a fallen wood retaining wall, which was also resolved. The building has been the subject of routine inspections over the years, with all significant violations being addressed and abated. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily concerned parking issues in the vicinity, which are not directly related to building conditions or management. The property's planning records show an attempt to add an additional dwelling unit in 2020, though this permit was ultimately cancelled.
