1259-1261 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 1259-1261 Filbert St is a two-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in Russian Hill, built in 1906 and currently owned by 1259 Filbert LLC. The building has undergone significant renovations since 2019, including substantial interior remodeling on both the second floor and basement, foundation work, bathroom additions, and the installation of radiant heating systems. A particular focus of the renovations has been the basement conversion, which added new living spaces including a bedroom, bathroom, and laundry facilities.

More recent work in 2023 included a complete reroofing project costing $16,000. The building's renovation history indicates some periods of construction-related challenges, particularly during 2020-2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding construction practices, including concerns about work beyond permit scope, structural issues, water drainage problems, and safety concerns. These complaints led to several building inspections and investigation of unauthorized construction work, though many were ultimately marked as not active.

The property also experienced a building violation related to unauthorized stair and roof deck construction in 2018, which was abated in 2019. In 2023, there was a complaint about possible illegal unit conversions and commercial use of the garage space, though this was quickly marked as not active. The building underwent systematic upgrades including garage door replacement, comprehensive plumbing improvements, and electrical systems modernization, with most recent permits showing completed status. The property's renovation history suggests ongoing efforts to improve and upgrade the building, with particular attention paid to resolving previous violations and enhancing habitability through various building systems upgrades.
