1273-1281 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story mixed-use building at 1273-1281 Jackson Street, constructed in 1908 in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, contains six residential units above a ground-floor commercial space. The property is currently undergoing significant rehabilitation following a serious fire incident in May 2024 that rendered the building uninhabitable, causing structural damage from fire, smoke, and water. Recent building permits indicate ongoing accessibility improvements and commercial space renovations, with work focused on ADA compliance, including counter locations, door swings, and bathroom adjustments.

The building underwent various renovations between 2022-2023, including commercial space updates, lighting, flooring, and window modifications, particularly affecting the laundry space at 1470 Leavenworth. The building's history includes several routine safety inspections and violation notices. Notable issues from the past include a fire safety violation in 2000 regarding egress obstruction, smoke enclosure doors, window repairs, and light fixture maintenance, all of which were abated.

In 2012, concerns were raised about lead paint and weatherproofing, though these issues were also resolved. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 to early 2025 indicate ongoing debris and waste management challenges in the vicinity of the property. Multiple permits from 2022 and 2023 demonstrate efforts to improve the building's accessibility and commercial functionality, while recent complaints in 2024 suggest concerns about construction impacts on neighboring properties. The current status of the building appears to involve addressing the aftermath of the 2024 fire, with active building permits referencing modifications to previously approved work, including changes to ADA counter locations and door configurations.
