550 Jessie St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 550 Jessie Street property, also known as Stevenson Lofts, is a 61-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, consisting of 4 stories and currently owned by Stevenson Lofts Sf Llc. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with notable work including a comprehensive electrical system upgrade in 2012-2013 that included wiring for all residential units and common areas, and fire safety improvements including a new fire alarm system installation.

Recent maintenance issues have raised concerns, particularly in 2024, with multiple fire safety violations related to sprinkler/standpipe systems being documented throughout the year, along with violations regarding sleeping area requirements. The building experienced structural issues in 2011-2016 when exterior stucco was reported to be falling from the fourth floor, creating a pedestrian hazard, though these violations were ultimately abated. The property has seen various commercial adaptations, including a 2016 conversion of retail space to a sandwich shop and the recent installation of outdoor lighting features in 2020.

Recent maintenance records show ongoing plumbing work, including multiple water heater installations and sink installations between 2015 and 2017. The building's environmental context is currently marked by several surrounding urban challenges, as evidenced by recent 311 calls in January 2025 regarding encampments, sidewalk blockages, and waste issues in the vicinity of the building. While the property has maintained basic life safety systems (with multiple fire alarm activations recorded as unintentional), the persistence of sprinkler system violations in 2024 suggests some ongoing maintenance challenges.
