800-804 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 9-unit apartment building at 800-804 Filbert Street in Russian Hill, owned by Lillian L Wong, is a 3-story, 1909 structure that has undergone several significant modifications and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory $108,000 soft-story retrofit in 2017 under San Francisco building codes, achieving full compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property has a documented history of unauthorized modifications, particularly concerning basement units.

In 2006, a complaint was filed regarding illegal conversions of a storage room into habitable space, which led to multiple violations including inadequate light, ventilation, egress issues, and unauthorized electrical and plumbing work. These violations were formally abated by July 31, 2007, following work to cap off the illegal units. The building underwent routine safety inspections in 2000, 2003, 2006, and 2015, with the latter requiring additional fire safety measures including smoke enclosure doors and carbon monoxide alarms, all of which were subsequently addressed.

Recent maintenance work includes street space permits issued in 2019 and 2024, along with electrical improvements such as Ufer ground wiring installation. The property has experienced minimal serious incidents, with only two recorded fire department responses for smoke removal and a false alarm, neither involving civilian injuries. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of routine maintenance and code compliance issues, with no major structural or safety concerns reported in recent years. The building's unit count and details have been verified and corrected in the database as of January 2024.
