949 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 949 Filbert St in Russian Hill, owned by Betta Louis Felice, was constructed in 1927 and has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting as a Tier 3 soft-story building, achieving final certification with the installation of a new fire alarm system in 2019 that included low frequency sounders in sleeping areas for enhanced safety compliance.

The building's electrical infrastructure was substantially improved in 2005 with the installation of a new 200-amp service with seven meters and breaker panels. Earlier fire safety measures were implemented in 1983 with sprinkler installations in storage rooms, while more recent work in 2019 included sprinkler monitoring upgrades. The building has maintained regular housing inspections over the years, with records showing routine inspections in 2000, 2003, and 2006, all of which were resolved promptly.

In recent months, there has been a notable pattern of parking enforcement calls related to driveway blocking, with multiple incidents recorded between February 2023 and October 2024, though these primarily relate to street parking issues rather than building safety concerns. The property's maintenance history suggests active management attention to both safety compliance and infrastructure upgrades, with completed permits totaling significant investment in building safety systems, including a $15,000 fire alarm upgrade in 2019 and prior seismic retrofit work costing $40,000. While the building is now compliant with current safety standards, the regularity of parking enforcement calls in the vicinity may indicate ongoing challenges with street parking management around the property.
