602 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 602 Filbert Street is a 3-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Archdiocese Of S F & Schl J. The building has experienced several significant issues over recent years, most notably a current active violation regarding the unauthorized installation of a vinyl window on the ground floor in 2012, for which the owner was subsequently ordered to replace it with a proper wooden window in 2013. In 2018, the building was cited for non-compliance with the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, which is a serious concern regarding earthquake safety, though this violation was marked as not active in 2019.

Historical violations from 2005 highlighted concerns about fire safety systems, including fire escape maintenance and fire extinguisher requirements. The building has undergone various maintenance and improvement projects, including water heater replacements in 2007, 2015, and 2020, hood and duct system upgrades, and window replacements, though some permits are listed as expired. Recent activity at the property has mostly involved exterior and street-related issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 concerning garbage and debris, including reports of overflowing city garbage cans and other waste issues on or near the property. There are also ongoing concerns about tree maintenance based on an open service request from December 2024.

Two fire incidents were recorded but resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a roof replacement in 1995 and lighting upgrades in 1996. The property has undergone routine inspections by housing and building authorities, though some recent violations suggest ongoing compliance challenges. The most recent complaints and service requests primarily relate to street-level maintenance and cleaning, rather than building-specific issues.
