736-740 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit residential building at 736-740 Filbert Street in North Beach is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1914, currently owned by Lawrence Hall Tsao Louie Re. The property has undergone several significant improvements, with the most substantial being a $120,000 renovation in 2019 that included updates to one kitchen and one bathroom, along with electrical and plumbing upgrades, which was properly permitted and completed. Earlier maintenance work includes a $6,800 reroofing project in 2006, following multiple reroofing permits from 1994 that had expired.

The building has a history of multiple routine inspections and some compliance issues, particularly in 2003 and 2007. The 2003 inspection revealed several fire safety concerns including the need for smoke detectors, fire extinguisher maintenance, smoke enclosure door closer repairs, and fire proofing issues, while the 2007 inspection identified problems with stored items in garage and egress stairs, drain maintenance, and security door requirements. All these violations were officially abated by September 2007.

Since then, the building underwent regular routine inspections in 2011 and 2015, with no reported violations. Recent activity near the property includes ongoing sidewalk maintenance for loose garbage, with the most recent 311 calls in 2024 related to garbage and debris issues on the street. A current sidewalk defect reported in March 2024 remains open, indicating possible infrastructure maintenance needs.
