1434 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94108

1434 Jones Street is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood. Built in 1907 and currently owned by Katherine A. Fong, the property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in August 2023 (cost: $44,787) that included new smoke detectors, manual pulls, motorbells, horn strobes, and AES radio communications equipment.

The building received a new roof in February 2023 (cost: $12,000), and in 2019, the rear stairs were repaired. A steam boiler was installed in 2016, which has since been subject to several permit renewal requirements, with the most recent violation recorded in 2016 being successfully abated. The building has experienced recurring fire safety system issues, with multiple violations and complaints regarding sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and fire extinguishers between 2007 and 2024, though all were eventually corrected. There was one carbon monoxide incident recorded among the fire responses, but with no civilian injuries reported.

A notable tenant complaint in 2017 involved unpermitted kitchen plumbing work that left a hole in the wall and removed cabinetry. Additional routine inspections over the years have addressed various safety and maintenance requirements, including egress obstruction concerns and the need for proper security locks on doors. The property has maintained regular compliance with street space permits, with multiple permits issued between 2016 and 2018. Recent 311 calls indicate typical urban issues such as garbage removal and sidewalk cleaning, with the most recent case from August 2024 involving furniture removal.
