1625-1627 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1625-1627 Jones Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Song Ho Yee Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1936 and contains four units. The building's inspection and violation history reveals several safety-related concerns over the years, with notable patterns in 2000 and 2016. In 2000, multiple fire safety violations were documented, including issues with combustible storage, egress obstructions, fire extinguisher maintenance, and missing automatic fire sprinklers, along with other safety concerns related to gas utility shutoff tools and self-closing exterior doors; all these violations were abated by September 5, 2000.

A similar cluster of violations occurred in 2016, including storage issues under stairs, water heater installation permit concerns, and the need for carbon monoxide and smoke alarm affidavits, though these were promptly addressed within a few weeks. The building has undergone routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2003, 2008, 2010, 2016, and most recently in 2019, with all issues being resolved. A historical note from 2001 indicates an unpermitted reroofing work incident that was quickly resolved.

More recently, between 2024 and 2025, there have been multiple reports of street-related issues near the property, including several cases of abandoned vehicles and instances of garbage and debris on the street, though these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's condition or safety. The most recent concerns include an open report from January 2025 about an overgrown tree near communication lines and a garbage-related incident involving a Christmas tree. The building's violation and inspection history suggests that while there were significant safety concerns in the past, particularly in 2000 and 2016, these issues were addressed in a timely manner, and recent routine inspections have not identified persistent safety problems within the building itself.
