1790 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 30-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 1790 Jackson Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Alice Dudum Survivor's Trust, has undergone several significant updates and faced various challenges since its construction in 1940. Most recently, in July 2023, the building began upgrading its fire alarm system to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, following similar work in 2016 that involved installing a new wireless fire alarm system. The building has undergone substantial unit improvements, including kitchen renovations in 2018 (Units 605 and 701) and 2021 (Units 304, 402, and 604), along with a domestic hot water boiler replacement in early 2021.

A notable incident occurred in 2021 when an awning/canopy over the front entrance became a safety concern, leaning significantly before being repaired later that year. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety systems, with multiple fire safety complaints being promptly addressed between 2017 and 2023, including issues with extinguishers, alarm systems, and fire escape maintenance. Historical issues from the early 2000s included fire escape ladder repairs and various fire-related citations, all of which were resolved.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing attention to maintenance, with reports of sidewalk defects, garbage management issues, and lighting concerns being addressed by appropriate city departments. While there have been two heating complaints in 1998 and one water leak issue in 2016, these appear to be isolated incidents. The building has a history of false fire alarms and system activations, which is not uncommon for multi-family buildings of this age.
