1276 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1276 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Kim Oi Chan Gin Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements since its 1911 construction. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $62,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building has a documented history of addressing fire safety concerns, with multiple violations in 2008 related to fire resistive surfaces, occupancy separation walls, and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were abated by July 2008 along with garage fire door repairs.

A routine 2016 inspection showed no active violations, and the property has maintained its fire alarm system since a 2014 complaint was found to have no merit. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety concerns, including a rear stair repair in 2000, various plumbing improvements (including a water heater replacement in 2008), and several routine inspections. While there have been multiple complaints regarding building systems and maintenance issues in the past, such as insufficient hot water (2008) and fire safety concerns (2008), all were addressed in a timely manner.

Recent records from 2024 show only minimal exterior issues, primarily related to street cleaning, with no active building complaints or violations on file. The property has also addressed parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking violations between 2021-2022. A street space permit was issued in 2019, and the building's soft-story retrofit was officially completed with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued, confirming compliance with seismic safety standards.
