1245 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1245 Filbert Street in Russian Hill, owned by Wing Xi Trust, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades since its construction in 1966. Most recently, in 2023, the building completed a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing $21,800, which included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current fire code requirements.

Prior to this, the building underwent a soft-story retrofit in 2015 (at a cost of $35,000) to improve seismic safety, and a reroofing project in 2018 costing $26,000, demonstrating ongoing attention to structural maintenance. The building has a documented history of fire safety improvements, including the installation of a new fire alarm panel and device upgrades in early 2023. While there were some fire safety violations recorded in 2002 related to egress obstructions and fire escape ladder maintenance, these issues were promptly addressed and abated within two months.

The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2002, 2008, and 2011, all of which were marked as not active. The most recent interaction with city services was a 2020 complaint about illegal postings, though this was not directly related to building safety or maintenance. The building's documented improvements and prompt resolution of past violations suggest a history of maintaining regulatory compliance, particularly regarding fire safety systems.
