1955 Jefferson St, San Francisco, CA 94123

1955 Jefferson Street is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Mckeever Properties. The building's most recent significant improvement came in 2023, with an upgrade to the fire alarm system to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has undergone multiple unit renovations since 2012, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling in several apartments (units 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9), infrastructure improvements such as stairway and landing replacements, and various plumbing upgrades including sewer line work and water meter installations.

The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple fire alarm system problems documented between 2008-2017, though most were resolved promptly. A notable cluster of violations occurred in July 2010, including citations for alarm system maintenance, combustible storage, fire rating penetrations, extinguisher service, and exit/fire escape issues - all of which were subsequently corrected. Recent fire complaints in 2023 regarding alarm systems were also corrected.

The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including reports of lights not functioning properly in common areas (2013), electrical issues, and plumbing concerns such as a leaking toilet (2010). The property underwent various infrastructure improvements, including the repair of foundation issues in 2014 and the installation of new water meters in 2013. Historical records show an unsuccessful attempt to reduce unit count from 9 to 5 and extend the building by 14 feet at the rear, though this was ultimately closed without further action.
