2241 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 2241 Jackson Street property is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by the Virginia Louise Swanson Rev trust. The building has undergone extensive renovations and safety upgrades in recent years, most notably including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2023 (with a cost of $65,000) to comply with mandatory seismic safety requirements. A major renovation project was initiated in late 2023 through 2024 to convert and separate merged units, create new ADUs, and upgrade all units' interiors, including new windows, electrical systems, plumbing, and fire safety features.

This included work on units 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, with improvements totaling over $1 million, including new fire sprinkler systems, upgraded fire alarm systems, and substantial electrical and plumbing work. The building had active violations related to soft-story compliance as of 2019, which appear to have been resolved through subsequent retrofit work, though there was an investigation in 2023 regarding unpermitted work that was later closed. Additional improvements include replacement of common area finishes (plaster, carpet, trim), new fire safety equipment, and comprehensive unit upgrades including kitchens, bathrooms, laundry facilities, and modern amenities such as tankless water heaters.

Historical violations from 2001 related to fire safety and building maintenance have been addressed, and the building is currently classified as Tier 3 compliant for soft-story requirements. The property has maintained compliance with various safety and building codes, as evidenced by the completion of required retrofits and safety upgrades. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as parking enforcement and street cleaning, rather than building-specific concerns.
