218-220 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 218-220 Filbert Street is a two-story multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, containing three units and owned by Scott Paul since 1999. Built in 1900, the building has undergone several significant upgrades, including seismic improvements completed in 1990-1991 that installed new shear walls and foundation elements.

Most recently, the building received a new composite shingle roof in 2014, though there was a concerning incident in 2020 when a complaint regarding sunken stairs was filed, though this violation is currently marked as not active. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural issues, with wood repairs to decks completed in 2000. The property has experienced multiple fire system activations, primarily consisting of false alarms and smoke detector activations without fire incidents, with the last recorded instance in 2017.

While these events were resolved without injuries, they indicate ongoing fire safety system maintenance requirements. The building's exterior and surrounding area have recently experienced various maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025 regarding garbage, debris, and blocked sidewalks, though most of these cases were either resolved or determined not to require action. Planning records show the property has received appropriate certificates for window and door improvements, and the owner has demonstrated compliance with building codes through various permit applications and corrections.
