1281-1285 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit residential building at 1281-1285 Filbert Street in Russian Hill, owned by Murolo Fmly Residual Tr, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1909. The most substantial recent renovation occurred in 2013-2014, involving a comprehensive remodel of the fourth floor including kitchen renovations, bathroom updates, furnace relocation, and the installation of tube skylights, supported by electrical rewiring and plumbing upgrades totaling over $100,000.

Earlier improvements included a complete window replacement in 2006 (39 windows), reroofing the building, and a major 2005 renovation that encompassed kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical service upgrades, and new house meters installation, all demonstrating consistent investment in building maintenance and improvements. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in 2024-2025, with multiple 311 calls regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk, though these remain open as of October 2023.

There were also recent reports of sewage discharge and human waste issues near the property, though these were investigated and deemed to have no significant impact on the building. Historical routine housing inspections in 2002, 2008, and 2009 were conducted without noted violations. While the building's major systems have been regularly upgraded, including a 2014 furnace installation and 2005 electrical service upgrade, the recent tree root issues affecting the sidewalk present an ongoing maintenance concern.
