**Building Overview and Condition Report for 1098 Jackson Street, Nob Hill** The 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1098 Jackson Street, owned by Aetna Apartments LP, was constructed in 1911 and underwent mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2015 (cost: $45,000) to improve structural stability. The property has seen several significant renovations and improvements over recent years, including a 2022 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements (cost: $10,050) and the creation of a new juice bar with plumbing and electrical work in 2021 (cost: $70,000). Multiple maintenance issues have been addressed, including dry rot repairs in 2015 (cost: $2,000) and various apartment renovations (e.g., Apartment 6 kitchen and bathroom renovation in 2022, cost: $25,000). The building has experienced several water-related issues, with multiple complaints about water damage and potential mold (2016), though these were marked as "not active" in the official records.

There were also concerns about unauthorized construction work in 2019, with multiple complaints about unpermitted renovations to the ground floor restaurant, though these complaints were subsequently closed. Fire safety has been a recurring focus, with multiple violations noted between 2018-2023 regarding fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and sprinkler systems, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected." More recently, a common areas complaint was filed in May 2024 and remains active. The building has experienced one recorded fire incident involving civilian injuries, though the details are limited. Recent work includes the installation of a wireless telecommunications facility on the roof to accommodate six antennas, completed in 2013.

The property has a current Tier 4 soft-story status with work completed and Certificate of Final Completion issued. Recent permits and inspections suggest ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems, with particular attention to fire safety requirements and residential unit improvements. While there have been multiple building violations and complaints over the years, these have generally been addressed and resolved, though some recent issues remain active. The building's location and mixed-use configuration (residential apartments above ground floor commercial) has led to unique challenges and recurring issues related to building systems and fire safety.
