775 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

775 Filbert Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, currently owned by Wu Ai Yueh Lee. The building contains 6 units and has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, with the most recent major improvement being the establishment of a new wine bar called Chez Brando in 2022, which involved ground floor commercial unit modifications totaling $60,000. Between 2010 and 2018, substantial maintenance work was completed throughout the property, including complete replacement of water lines, electrical systems, and various fixtures in multiple units.

Noteworthy improvements included whole-house electrical rewiring and plumbing upgrades in 2010, comprehensive bathroom and kitchen renovations in 2013, and specific updates to units 1860 and 1862 in 2018. The building experienced several serious issues between 2009-2018, including a significant cluster of violations filed in April 2010 related to interior surfaces, including damaged walls, ceilings, windows, mold/mildew, inadequate lighting, and lead paint concerns, though these were abated by June 2018. Earlier complaints documented problems with pest infestations, unsanitary conditions, and garbage accumulation in common areas.

A routine exterior inspection in 2021 noted peeling paint. The property has undergone multiple commercial use transitions, previously operating as a laundry locker, then as a specialty grocery, and most recently as a wine bar, with all changes properly permitted through the Planning Department. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2025 primarily relate to street maintenance issues outside the building, including garbage disposal and parking concerns, suggesting typical urban neighborhood maintenance needs.
