977-981 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 977-981 Jackson Street property is a 4-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood. Built in 1908 and currently owned by Lawrence Wong 2015 Tr, this building has undergone several significant safety improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2018, the building completed a mandated Tier III soft-story seismic retrofit that included new foundations and shear walls, along with the installation of a UFER ground system, bringing the building up to modern seismic safety standards.

The building has experienced periodic regulatory scrutiny, with a notable cluster of fire safety violations documented in September 2016, including issues with fire escape access, fire extinguisher maintenance, and smoke detector compliance, though all these violations were promptly abated by October 4, 2016. The property has been subject to regular routine inspections over the years, dating back to 1999, with the most recent documented routine inspection occurring in 2016. Historical improvements include a 1994 window upgrade project that replaced 27 windows with aluminum units.

The building's compliance with soft-story requirements was confirmed as complete with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued. Recent building maintenance records show attention to sidewalk accessibility issues, with multiple reports of residential toters blocking pathways between 2019 and 2023, though these were mostly resolved through outreach and enforcement. The most recent building-related issues have been primarily concerning exterior maintenance and waste management, with no active violations currently on record related to building safety or habitability.
