1120-1126 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The four-story, 16-unit apartment building at 1120-1126 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by the George & Rose Yee Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and improvements since its construction in 1908. Most notably, recent work includes a comprehensive fire safety upgrade in 2024 that encompasses new fire alarm devices, manual pull stations, smoke detectors, and the replacement of existing bells with horn/strobe units featuring 520Hz low frequency sounders.

The building has also successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit, achieving Tier 2 compliance, which was completed in 2017 at a cost of $60,000. Historical building maintenance records show attention to basic infrastructure needs, including concrete work in the backyard (2008), reroofing (1995), and stairway wall improvements (1994). The building's history includes several fire safety-related issues that have been addressed over time, including a 2011 incident involving a malfunctioning fire alarm system and rodent concerns, as well as multiple violations in 2010 related to egress obstruction, fire alarm maintenance, and general building maintenance.

Recent concerns have included pest control issues in early 2024 and multiple reports of garbage and debris in the vicinity. The property's maintenance record shows regular annual inspections through the years, and most historical violations and complaints have been properly addressed and closed. The building is currently undergoing additional safety enhancements, including the installation of a new backflow prevention system as of April 2024.
