828 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 5-story, 20-unit apartment building at 828 Jones Street, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by 828 Jones I3 LP, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, facade repairs are currently underway in 2024, addressing issues identified by a facade inspection report, with work including re-coating of loose surfaces, concrete repairs, and securing of exposed utilities, at a cost of $100,000. Recent unit improvements have focused on modernizing amenities, with multiple apartments receiving kitchen and bathroom renovations, including units 4, 32, 34, 48, and 52.

A sewer lateral replacement was completed in March 2023, indicating attention to infrastructure maintenance. The building's history shows recurring concerns with heating systems, particularly evident between 2002-2006, though recent complaints about heating have not been reported. Of particular concern are recent fire safety violations from 2024, including issues with sleeping area requirements, extinguishers, and blocked exits, though it's noted that these conditions were corrected promptly.

The building has experienced several fire safety inspections with varying outcomes between 2017 and 2024, though no significant fire incidents have been recorded. Recent months have seen multiple 311 calls regarding the immediate surroundings, particularly concerning sidewalk conditions and debris, with the most recent being in December 2024. The elevator was reported non-functional in November 2024, representing the most recent maintenance issue. While the building has undergone substantial modernization and improvements over recent years, the recent fire safety violations and ongoing exterior maintenance work suggest that some areas still require attention.
