Augrented Insights Report

1221 Jones Street is a 12-story, 72-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1971 in the Nob Hill neighborhood, currently owned by 1221 Jones LLC. The building has undergone numerous renovations and repairs over the past several years, with the most recent significant work including a $159,000 fire alarm system update in October 2024 to comply with sleeping area notification requirements. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with water-related problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints and work orders regarding water intrusion, mold, and plumbing issues between 2024 and 2023.

Three notable violations were recorded in 2023-2024 related to the fire safety systems: a highrise sprinkler system compliance violation in December 2024, a sleeping area requirements violation in November 2023, and multiple fire alarm system maintenance violations throughout 2023-2024. The building has undergone substantial interior renovations, including major work in 2021-2022 involving the remodeling of 18 units, estimated at over $960,000, along with electrical system updates including heater replacements and charger installations in 2023. Various fire safety violations have been documented, with some issued citations being abated while others are still under review.

Recent complaints from 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with heating systems, emergency exits, water intrusion, elevator permits, and maintenance of fixtures/appliances. The property has also had multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris removal, primarily related to furniture disposal, in recent months. While the building's management has addressed many of the violations and complaints through various repair and upgrade projects, patterns of recurring issues suggest ongoing challenges with property maintenance and system compliance.
