1619-1621 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit residential building at 1619-1621 Jones Street in Nob Hill, built in 1939 and currently owned by the Lori A Sbarboro Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over its history. The building has received substantial safety upgrades, including a comprehensive fire alarm system update in 2015 (with additional system issues reported and corrected in 2012), window replacements in 2017 (installing six new Millgard double glass aluminum wood-clad windows with a U-factor of 0.32), and significant electrical upgrades including a new 200-amp underground electrical service with four meters installed in 2009.

The property has maintained an active maintenance schedule, with recent permits showing ongoing attention to building upkeep, including multiple street space permits issued in 2017. Looking back at the building's history, there was a cluster of violations in 2000 that required attention to various safety features, including handrails, stairs, fire safety systems, and security requirements, all of which were subsequently abated by May 2008.

More recent building inspections (2011 and 2008) have shown that these issues were addressed, and the property has since focused on systematic upgrades to windows, roofing (completed in 2009), and fire safety systems. The building's location has experienced some challenges typical of urban environments, as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding street cleaning needs, including reports of human waste and debris on public sidewalks (with recent cases in 2023-2024), though these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions or management.
