558-562 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 558-562 Filbert Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Robert C III & Clare L Gord, contains 14 units and was constructed in 1907. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably a major foundation replacement project in 2019 costing $120,000 that replaced the brick foundation with a concrete one. That same year, comprehensive fire safety upgrades were implemented, including the installation of a new fire alarm system with sprinkler monitoring and low-frequency sounders, as well as the addition of 24 new sprinklers in remodeled units and egress paths in accordance with NFPA standards.

The building has also completed its required soft-story seismic retrofit work. Recent complaints from October 2024 suggest concerns about unauthorized modifications to the building's roof deck access, specifically regarding an exterior staircase's construction differing from approved permits. The building's history includes several unit renovations and system upgrades, such as furnace replacements in multiple units (2010), comprehensive electrical system updates (2005-2019), and various plumbing improvements.

A significant tenant buyout occurred in July 2020 at 562 Filbert Street, involving a payment of $158,000 for one tenant. The property has maintained active compliance with routine housing inspections, though it had a notable violation in 2004 regarding an unpermitted roof deck that was eventually resolved in 2007. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates and improvements, particularly focusing on safety systems and unit modernization.
