801 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94109

801 Jones Street is a 5-story, 60-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1918, currently owned by H/s Partners Ii Lp. The building has undergone significant telecommunications upgrades between 2002 and 2021, primarily related to T-Mobile equipment installations and modifications, including antenna replacements, cabinet updates, and electrical work totaling over $200,000. A domestic boiler replacement was completed in 2022, and major electrical system upgrades were performed in 2003, including a 600-amp service installation.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance and infrastructure issues, most notably with an elevator system that has shown inconsistent operation in 2015-2016 and required multiple repairs. There have been persistent moisture and mold problems reported in unit 308's bathroom between 2016 and 2018, and multiple fire safety violations have emerged, including a sleeping area requirement violation issued in November 2023. The building's elevator has historically required emergency services for stranded occupants, though no injuries have been reported. Recent history (2023-2025) shows ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple garbage-related service requests in early 2025.

The property has also seen two tenant buyouts in 2020 and 2021, valued at approximately $102,250 combined. The building's record shows a mix of completed permits for various safety and accessibility improvements, including fire alarm system modifications, handrail installations, and compliance with accessibility requirements. While many violations have been resolved, some issues, such as the recent sleeping area requirement violation, remain open. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure, though recent years show fewer complaints compared to the peak issue periods around 2016-2018.
