1606-1612 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1606-1612 Jones Street in Nob Hill, built in 1907 and currently owned by 1606 Jones Street LLC, has undergone significant renovations and compliance work over recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building underwent a process to legalize one ADU at the basement level, following internal DBI audits, with associated costs of $158,452. This ADU installation was initially contentious, with work performed under a previously cancelled permit leading to a violation notice in 2023, though this violation was ultimately resolved.

The building has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades since 2018, including comprehensive plumbing work replacing systems in all four kitchens and fifteen bathrooms, installation of radiant heating throughout, complete electrical rewiring with new service up to 400A, and the implementation of a full building fire sprinkler system with new underground service per NFPA 24. The property has undergone important safety and accessibility improvements, including seismic work classification compliance and fire alarm system upgrades. In 2019, all 16 non-historic windows on the front facade were replaced with energy-efficient aluminum-clad, wood-framed double-hung sash windows.

The building's maintenance history shows regular routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services from 2012-2019, with one historical violation in 2002 regarding dryrotted rear stairs that was promptly addressed. More recent concerns have primarily involved waste management issues in 2022, with multiple reports about garbage bins being left out, though these were mostly resolved through outreach and enforcement. The property's maintenance record suggests active management and compliance with most building codes, with the recent ADU legalization process being the most significant regulatory interaction in recent years.
