946 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 946 Jones Street building, a three-story multi-family residential property constructed in 1915, is owned by Jones Street Place LLC and contains 7 units. The property underwent significant renovations in 2018-2019, including a comprehensive unit modernization project that involved electrical rewiring, new sub-panels, and rooftop AC units for all seven units, as well as bathroom and kitchen upgrades on multiple floors. Major safety improvements were made during this period, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system and like-for-like fire system replacement with new control panel, smoke detectors, and pull stations, costing approximately $25,000 in total.

The building's infrastructure was substantially upgraded with the replacement of the steam boiler system, with separate DHW heaters installed for each unit, and the electrical service was upgraded from 125 amp to 400 amp with 7 meters. The property has a history of addressing safety and maintenance issues, with building violations from 2010-2016 related to fire escape maintenance and alarm systems, all of which were abated. A routine safety inspection in 2019 was conducted, and all noted compliance issues appear to have been resolved.

The most recent fire complaint from October 2021 regarding blocked exits was corrected within three weeks. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to building systems, with prompt response to permit renewal issues for the boiler system in 2019. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily related to street-level issues outside the building, such as garbage, debris, and encampments, which are not directly related to building conditions or management. The property's planned unit conversion to 2/3-bedroom, 2-bath configurations indicates ongoing development interest, though no physical changes to unit sizes or locations are proposed.
