2285 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 8-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2285 Jackson Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Chan David Tak Fai & Cecili, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofits in 2020 for both residential and commercial spaces, with the residential work costing $60,000 and the commercial portion $40,000. This included the installation of moment frames and Simpson Strong walls to comply with San Francisco's soft-story retrofit requirements (Tier 4).

The property has received recent attention for establishing a Type 42 ABC liquor license for tasting purposes in 2023, and prior electrical improvements were made in 2004 for a commercial laundromat installation. The building has experienced some maintenance challenges over the years, including a 2013 complaint about back stair repair issues and possible leaky pipes, which was resolved in early 2014. A routine inspection in 2002 revealed several interior surface and fire safety violations, including the need for painting walls and ceilings, lead paint concerns, and issues with fire extinguishers and egress obstruction, though these were all abated by November 2002.

Recent 311 calls from January 2025 indicate ongoing issues with garbage and debris management in the vicinity, including multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans. The building's fire safety record shows one minor incident related to elevator rescue operations, with no civilian injuries reported. The property is listed as having completed its soft-story retrofit work, with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.
