953-959 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 953-959 Jones Street in Downtown, owned by the Quan Shuck Family Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory fire alarm upgrade in 2022 to comply with California State Fire Marshal requirements, which included replacing the fire alarm panel, adding horns in units, and installing a wireless radio communicator.

A comprehensive soft-story retrofit was completed in 2017, bringing the building into compliance with seismic safety standards, and in 2022, the building received a new roof at a cost of $20,000. The building has a documented history of fire safety compliance issues that were promptly addressed, including a violation for fire alarm system maintenance in March 2018 that was abated within two days, and a series of fire safety violations in 2016 related to fire escape ladders and fire extinguishers that were resolved within two months.

Recent activity around the building has primarily involved urban maintenance issues, with numerous reports of illegal parking and street cleaning needs between 2023 and 2024, including multiple instances of blocked driveways and garbage debris that were addressed by city services. Routine housing inspections were conducted in 2000, 2010, and 2016, all of which resulted in the resolution of any identified issues. The building's safety and habitability record shows a pattern of timely responses to violations and proactive maintenance, particularly concerning fire safety systems, though the concentration of recent parking enforcement issues around the property is noteworthy.
