1245-1249 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 5-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1245-1249 Jones Street in Nob Hill, built in 1910, has undergone significant recent improvements and safety upgrades. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 under Tier 3 requirements, improving structural safety. Recent maintenance and upgrade work includes a $15,000 bathroom repair project in Unit #1247 (2024), comprehensive electrical system upgrades in 2023 including a 60-amp sub panel replacement and complete rewiring, and major renovations in multiple units including Unit #1245's bathroom and kitchen improvements in 2021 (valued at $30,000).

The building has also seen proper fire safety upgrades, including a 2021 fire system replacement with new control panels and wireless features throughout all units. The property management has historically addressed violations promptly, with all past housing code violations from 2000 and 2003 related to fire safety and security requirements being resolved by November 2009. A recent complaint from November 2024 regarding unpermitted construction work is currently active.

The building has maintained regular inspections and has completed necessary infrastructure updates, including plumbing improvements such as new gas lines and water heaters in 2023, though the bathroom/kitchen remodel permit from September 2023 is noted as expired. While there have been multiple parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, these are not directly related to the building's operation or maintenance. The property has maintained good compliance with safety requirements, as evidenced by the completion of the soft-story retrofit program and recent building-wide upgrades.
