296-298 Jersey St, San Francisco, CA 94114

This two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located at 296-298 Jersey Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Rose Johnston Trust, has been in service since 1970. The property has undergone several significant inspections and corrections, particularly noticeable during the period from 2008 to 2011 when multiple violations were recorded and subsequently abated.

These included safety concerns such as the need for seismic bracing of the hot water heater, installation of battery-operated smoke detectors, provision of proper garage ventilation, removal of an exterior wood utility ladder, and several fire safety requirements including the need for sprinklers over garbage receptacles and addressing improper use of garage space. Recent activity at the property has been minimal in terms of building-specific violations, though the street and surrounding area have seen various municipal service calls in 2023-2024, primarily related to garbage and debris issues, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans and a few encampment-related incidents.

Notably, there have been three documented gas-related incidents on the property, including a gas leak situation, though thankfully none resulted in civilian injuries. The most recent building permit activity on record dates back to November 2005, when three street space and sidewalk permits were issued, though these were for public space rather than building modifications. A variance request related to density, lot coverage, open space, and off-street parking for a neighboring property (1145 Noe St) was filed and disapproved.
