980-982 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The property at 980-982 Filbert Street in Russian Hill is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Victor Jr. Wong & Glenda Trs. The building's most significant issues occurred between late 2013 and mid-2015, when it faced serious violations under the Vacant Building Ordinance (194-09) including failure to comply with annual registration, signage requirements, exterior maintenance, and insurance regulations.

Multiple Notices of Violation were issued during this period, with documented complaints of the building being vacant, derelict condition, and reporting of rodent and pigeon infestations, damaged walls, and lead hazards. These violations were ultimately abated by June 2015, following a director hearing in May 2015. The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and maintenance in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2024.

Recent complaints include reports of garbage and debris (January 2024), blocked driveways (August 2024), and a case of human or animal waste (October 2021). The building underwent sidewalk repairs and obtained a street space permit in 2003, though these were relatively minor infrastructure issues compared to the more serious occupancy and maintenance violations from 2013-2015. The most recent activity related to the building was a garbage and debris complaint in November 2024, which was resolved by Recology.
