630-632 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 630-632 Filbert Street in North Beach, owned by Archdiocese Of S F & Schl J, was constructed in 1910 and contains 4 units. The property has recently experienced several significant issues, with multiple active violations as of July 2024, including lead hazard warnings, concerns about damaged paint potentially creating lead hazards, cleanliness issues, and requirements for utility shutoff tools and exit signs.

Two recent complaints from July 2024 suggest unauthorized structural alterations at the rear of the building involving unpermitted plumbing and electrical work, as well as concerns about contamination from neighboring construction work. The building has a documented history of fire code violations, with multiple citations issued between 2019-2023 regarding alarm systems, fire protection equipment, and emergency procedures, though these violations have generally been abated in a timely manner.

The property has undergone some maintenance work in recent years, including a sewer line replacement in 2014 and the installation of a stairway chair-lift in 1993 (though this permit expired). There have been various complaints and service requests via 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025, primarily related to street lighting, sidewalk conditions, and blocked pathways, indicating ongoing maintenance and accessibility concerns in the immediate vicinity of the building. While some historical issues have been resolved, the current violations related to lead hazards, fire safety, and building maintenance suggest continuing challenges with property upkeep and safety compliance, particularly regarding older building systems and materials.
