551-555 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 551-555 Filbert Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Brian and Lisa Szady, has undergone significant improvements since its 1910 construction. The most substantial renovation occurred in 2010, when the building received comprehensive upgrades including a new fire alarm system, full electrical rewiring of all units, installation of fire sprinkler systems, bathroom and kitchen renovations, and the addition of skylights and study rooms.

Safety improvements were prioritized during this renovation phase, as evidenced by the installation of smoke detectors, horn/strobe systems, and new fire sprinklers, with electrical upgrades incorporating common areas, garage, and roof deck. In recent years, the building has seen continued modernization efforts, including the installation of a dedicated EV charging station in 2022.

The property has maintained active compliance with safety regulations, with recent fire alarm system inspections in 2024 showing prompt attention to any issues. While there have been some historical complaints about unauthorized work and routine maintenance matters, including paint removal without proper containment in 2018 and window replacement without permits in 2010, these were addressed in accordance with regulatory procedures. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and prompt response to resident needs, with no active complaints or violations on file as of October 2023.
