1201 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1201 Jackson Street property is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, built in 1916 and currently owned by the Lee Arthur & Linda Trust. The building has undergone significant safety upgrades in recent years, including a voluntary fire alarm system modernization in 2022-2023 (cost: $15,300) and necessary soft-story retrofitting completed in 2018, which included both residential and commercial components totaling approximately $86,500.

Recent critical infrastructure improvements include a sewer replacement (July 2023) and new gas line installation (January 2023), indicating attention to essential building systems. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the years, with the most recent significant complaints including a lack of hot water in a unit (December 2020), recycling management concerns (March 2020), and common area clutter (December 2014). A July 2023 complaint regarding an allegedly unauthorized unit at the property was filed but is currently listed as not active.

The property has a documented history of fire safety system maintenance, with multiple fire alarm and fire escape inspections between 2016 and 2020, though numerous false alarms and system malfunctions have been recorded. While the building is now in compliance with soft-story retrofit requirements as a Tier 4 property, historical violations from 2000-2002 included various interior and fire safety issues that were subsequently abated. Recent building permits and repairs suggest ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading building systems, including regular inspections and prompt addressing of identified safety concerns.
