998 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

998 Filbert Street is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1912 in the Russian Hill neighborhood, currently owned by Arlene Baroni. The property has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with comprehensive unit upgrades occurring throughout 2023-2025, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units (1, 3, 4, and 6) and electrical rewiring projects in units 1, 2, 3, and 6. A notable structural improvement was completed in 2022 with a mandatory soft-story retrofit, addressing earthquake safety requirements, though enforcement actions were necessary in early 2023 before the issue was finally resolved in March 2024.

The building maintains active compliance with recent safety codes, as evidenced by the completed installation of 20 new aluminum-clad wood windows across multiple floors in October 2023. Historical records show various inspections and compliance actions over the decades, including multiple routine inspections, fire safety assessments in 1998-1999 regarding alarm and extinguisher systems, and several building permit applications for various improvements. The property has also been through planning processes regarding the conversion of ground floor commercial spaces to ADUs, with approvals and revisions documented between 2018 and 2023.

Recent maintenance activities have focused on building-wide improvements, including a new water heater installation in 2015 and multiple plumbing upgrades completed in 2023. The building's recent history has been relatively active, with significant refurbishment work completed between 2022-2025, addressing both interior unit improvements and essential building systems. While there have been some tenant complaints regarding construction noise in 2023 and historical violations regarding fire safety systems in 1998, these issues appear to have been resolved through subsequent compliance actions.
