1424 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1424 Jones Street in Nob Hill, owned by Wong Bo Lin Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed a seismic retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $90,000, achieving compliance with the wood frame seismic retrofit program, and more recently replaced FPE panels in August 2024. The property has a documented history of addressing structural issues, including dry rot repairs in 2006 and multiple roofing projects, with the most recent reroofing work performed in 2007.

The building has experienced several routine safety inspections, with most recent issues being addressed promptly. A series of violations were recorded in 2000 related to fire safety and lead paint concerns, all of which were abated by June 2000. More recent routine inspections in 2016 and 2020 have focused on fire escape maintenance, carbon monoxide and smoke alarm compliance, and general structural maintenance requirements.

The property has been classified as a Tier 3 soft-story building, with that work now completed and a Certificate of Final Completion issued. While there have been minor incidents recorded, including two carbon monoxide detector activations (which turned out to have no CO presence) and a 2024 report of abandoned furniture, there is no history of serious fire incidents or tenant injuries. The most recent routine safety inspections suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance with current safety requirements.
