415 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 6-story, 69-unit apartment building at 415 Jones St, owned by Tom Ali Abdul & Cobaa Abdul, was constructed in 1912 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events in recent years. Most notably, in 2024, the building underwent a fire alarm system upgrade (costing $65,258) to meet current safety codes, while a violation regarding sleeping area requirements from November 2023 remains open. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, including multiple fire safety concerns such as missing standpipe caps (July 2024 violation), sprinkler system issues, and various alarm system problems between 2017-2024.

In 2023, substantial work was performed on the basement area's roof slab (costing $400,000), and a new domestic hot water boiler was installed in 2020. The property has faced several tenant quality-of-life challenges over the years, including a 2018 no-heat complaint, a bed bug issue in 2019, and various structural and safety concerns documented in 2012 regarding damaged floors, radiator issues, door security, and stairway rail stability. A series of building violations were issued in late 2011 and mid-2012 addressing multiple issues including electrical repairs, drainage pipe problems, interior surface concerns, and handrail repairs, though these were subsequently abated.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to major systems, including previous boiler replacements in 2011 and reroofing projects in 1992 and 2004, though some permits from those years are now expired. The surrounding area, particularly noted in recent 311 calls, has experienced ongoing issues with street cleaning and debris, with multiple reports of garbage, human waste, and abandoned items between November 2024 and December 2024. While these external factors don't directly impact building conditions, they provide context about the building's environmental setting.
