724-728 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 10-unit multi-family residential building at 724-728 Jackson Street, owned by Willie Wong and Lily Laihung, was constructed in 1907 and features three stories with ground-floor retail space. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decades. Most recently, in October 2024, there were complaints about water intrusion in the basement area where massages are provided, with reports of leaking ceilings and water accumulation on footpaths.

The building has a history of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations and complaints documented between 2019 and 2024 regarding sprinkler systems, alarm systems, blocked exits, and stored combustibles in exit paths. During a 2011-2013 period, the building was classified as "unsafe," leading to various corrective actions including the installation of new electrical systems and plumbing work in 2012, which included an electric water heater installation and basement accommodations. The ground floor has transitioned from retail to a hair salon (J & J Hair Salon) in 2010, with subsequent concerns about unauthorized conversion to a massage parlor.

The building has undergone several structural improvements including roofing work in 1990, parapet strengthening in 1985, and various code compliance projects. There have been periodic routine inspections revealing various safety and maintenance issues, most of which have been addressed and abated through appropriate permits and corrections. The property has experienced multiple 311 calls in recent months (January 2025) regarding garbage and debris on the surrounding streets, though these issues appear to be related to external conditions rather than building management. The building's records show a pattern of requiring follow-up work to address violations, particularly concerning fire safety systems, egress paths, and general maintenance, though most recent violations have been promptly dealt with when properly documented through permits.
