219-233 Jones St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 20-unit apartment building at 219-233 Jones Street, owned by King Family Living Trust, is a 3-story multi-family residential structure built in 1925 and located in the Tenderloin neighborhood. The building has undergone numerous improvements and repairs over the years, with the most recent significant work being a recommencement of previously approved work in November 2024. The property has a history of building code compliance issues, particularly in 2006-2011, when multiple violations were addressed including egress obstructions, fire system maintenance, and accessibility requirements.

More recent improvements include plumbing upgrades such as the replacement of underground water service in 2017, electrical system modernization with new kitchen circuits, and various unit renovations. The building has experienced recurring fire safety system inspections and periodic violations related to fire alarms, sprinklers, and fire escapes, with the most recent fire complaints in October 2024 showing no merit for fire extinguisher and standpipe system issues. A notable pattern of 311 calls for street cleaning and sanitation issues has been recorded in January 2025, though these are primarily exterior to the building.

The property has gone through multiple rounds of inspections and upgrades to meet modern building standards, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovations in multiple units, accessibility modifications, and various plumbing and electrical improvements. While there have been several active complaints regarding unauthorized modifications and use changes over the years, many of these have been resolved through proper permitting and inspections. The building's location in the Tenderloin neighborhood presents ongoing challenges with street-level sanitation and public safety, though the building itself has maintained regular fire safety inspections and compliance where violations have been identified.
