1127 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94109

1127 Filbert Street is a three-story multi-family residential building located in the Russian Hill neighborhood, consisting of 4 units and built in 1929. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over the past two decades. Most recently, in October 2023, the building was required to revert unauthorized modifications to the back stairs, which had been extended without proper permits, while also completing the installation of nine energy-efficient windows. Between 2020 and 2010, multiple renovation projects were attempted for Units 1 and 2, including kitchen remodels and electrical upgrades, though some permits were withdrawn.

The building underwent substantial improvements in 2002-2003, including the installation of a new garage and electrical systems, along with interior renovations to the upper units. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety compliance issues, particularly regarding fire safety. In 2003, violations were recorded for fire escape ladder maintenance and fire extinguisher charges, though these were abated within a month. A more recent fire safety violation was documented in late 2022 regarding unauthorized stair modifications, which was addressed by October 2023. The building's history includes a cooking-related fire incident, though fortunately, no civilian injuries were reported.

Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned general street cleaning issues, with the most recent being from early 2025. The property has also been subject to routine inspections and research inquiries to verify its four-unit status, with all issues being resolved in a timely manner. The current owner, Steitz Lvg Trust, has maintained the property through various challenges, with the most recent significant work focusing on compliance with building codes and energy efficiency improvements. While there have been multiple instances of maintenance issues and safety compliance concerns, these have generally been addressed promptly through appropriate permits and inspections. The building's recent history shows a focus on structural and systems improvements, particularly in terms of building safety compliance and energy efficiency upgrades.
