1149 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1149 Jackson Street in Nob Hill, owned by Jackson Land Trust, was constructed in 1973 and consists of three stories. The property has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements over the past two decades, including a completed soft story retrofit in 2017 (completing mandatory seismic upgrades), reroofing in 2021, and the addition of fire sprinkler heads in units 5 and 6 in 2010. However, there have been multiple instances of unpermitted work, most notably a 2008 violation regarding unauthorized installation of two property line windows on the east elevation, which remains in an active status as of the latest records.

The building's safety maintenance history reveals various fire safety concerns, including expired fire extinguishers (2002), issues with a smoke enclosure door (2000), and a central alarm system certification complaint (2009), though many of these violations have been resolved. Recent records from 2020 onward show the building has had recurring issues with illegal parking, particularly driveway blockages, with multiple citation calls in 2022-2023. The property has also experienced some maintenance issues, as evidenced by 311 calls regarding a missing side sewer vent cover (2020) and various cleaning requirements.

In terms of residential usage, there was a notable incident involving short-term rentals in Unit 3, which was addressed through enforcement action in 2019-2020, resulting in the property owners switching to 30-day minimum stay rentals. Planning records show historical discussions about expanding the building's height and converting it to condominiums, though these proposals appear to have been settled at the time. The building's recent history (2017-present) shows a pattern of resolving safety compliance issues while facing ongoing challenges with unauthorized modifications and parking concerns. The property's completion of major safety upgrades like the soft story retrofit suggests attention to structural integrity, while periodic violations indicate some ongoing challenges with maintenance enforcement and compliance.
