224 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

224 Filbert Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Telegraph Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1977. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the years, with the most recent work completed in July 2023 involving repairs to the front deck and stairs at a cost of $4,300.

Earlier improvements include a $50,000 kitchen renovation in the top unit in 2022, which included cabinet and counter replacements, lighting updates, and the resolution of a leaking pipe issue. The building's history is marked by some concerning patterns, particularly a series of complaints in 2019 regarding unauthorized work and potential illegal unit conversions, including allegations of merging two rent-controlled units into a single-family home with an internal staircase connection. These complaints followed earlier similar concerns from 2004 regarding unauthorized conversions and deck modifications.

The property has had ongoing maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding public stairway defects between 2018 and 2024, and a plumbing issue in 2022. Planning records indicate various approved permits for exterior alterations and maintenance work, including deck repairs, stair modifications, and roof repairs, with one notable disapproved application for exterior alterations in 2000. The building's documented history suggests periodic maintenance and improvement by the owners, with some historical challenges related to unauthorized modifications and potential unit status violations, though there have been no active violations recorded in recent years.
