1895 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94109

1895 Jackson Street is a 6-story, 38-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most recent being a $24,000 kitchen cabinet replacement project in September 2023. Between 2009 and 2021, multiple unit renovations were completed, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 203, 305, 406, 604, and 702, with accompanying electrical and plumbing upgrades. The building received a new roof in 2014 at a cost of $70,000 and underwent important safety improvements, including fire escape modifications in 2010.

Recent concerns have emerged regarding building systems and safety compliance. Most notably, there is an active investigation (as of January 2025) into heating system issues, with complaints in late 2024 indicating steam heat was being turned off daily from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Additionally, there is a current violation issued in November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. The building has a documented history of various fire safety inspection issues between 2017 and 2023, including violations related to alarm systems, sprinkler systems, exit maintenance, and sleeping area requirements, though most have been corrected following inspections.

Historical complaints from 2012-2013 indicated problems with water temperature control, while other past issues included concerns about an unauthorized room construction in unit 203 (2009) and an alleged illegal room rental (2010), both of which were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a consistent record of unit upgrades and maintenance over the years, with particular attention to kitchen modernization and system improvements. While there have been multiple building code violations and complaints over the years, most were addressed promptly and brought into compliance. However, the recent heating system concerns and active violations related to sleeping area requirements may warrant attention. The building's safety systems have experienced periodic inspection-related issues, particularly between 2017-2019, though these have generally been resolved following intervention.
