1230 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1230 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, constructed in 1911, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance over the past several years, with particular attention to safety systems and unit modernization. Most notably, in 2023, the building completed a mandatory fire alarm system upgrade to comply with SFFC requirements, installing wireless low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and replacing existing devices in common areas at a cost of $43,766.

The building has successfully completed its soft-story retrofit program requirements, which were initially triggered by violations between 2014-2021, with final completion and CFC issuance recorded as "Work Complete." Recent unit improvements include comprehensive renovations of multiple units (2, 3, 4, and 5) between 2016-2020, which involved kitchen and bathroom rehabilitations, washer/dryer installations, and various infrastructure upgrades including new electrical systems and retaining wall improvements. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, though it experienced some issues related to the soft-story retrofit timeline between 2014-2021, resulting in violation notices and monthly monitoring fees. Recent complaints from 2024 regarding netting blocking light and concerns about smoking in stairwells are currently under review, and there have been several 311 calls in 2024 related to sidewalk conditions and parking issues.

Historical violations from the early 2000s concerning fire safety and storage have been resolved. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to maintenance needs, as evidenced by numerous completed permits for building improvements and safety upgrades, including substantial electrical work, plumbing updates, and general building maintenance. The most recent violation-related incidents have been addressed promptly, with most cases being marked as "Closed" or "Not Active."
