467-469 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story residential building at 467-469 Filbert Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Robert & Nina Klotz, is a two-unit structure built in 1964. The property has undergone significant improvements and safety upgrades, particularly in 2023-2024, focusing on roof deck safety features with two permits related to glass guardrail installations, first completed with a 42-inch rail in July 2023, and subsequently revised in August 2023 to implement a 72-inch glass guardrail.

The building underwent substantial renovations in 2008, including a complete electrical system upgrade with installation of 200-amp service on all floors, comprehensive plumbing work including re-piping of waste, vents, water, and gas systems, and the installation of two fireplaces. These improvements also included the installation of residential elevators and the completion of various safety requirements, such as addressing past violations regarding water heater placement in relation to garage safety standards, which were abated by May 2009. Recent records indicate ongoing parking enforcement issues near the property, with multiple citations for driveway blocking occurring throughout 2024, suggesting persistent challenges with street access in the vicinity.

Historical records show the building underwent important modifications in 2007-2008, including asbestos management and water heater safety compliance. The property also received variances related to front set-back and rear-yard requirements, influencing its architectural configuration. While the building's systems have been substantially upgraded over the years, the recent focus on roof deck safety features indicates attention to modernizing and securing outdoor spaces, though this has required multiple permit adjustments to achieve the desired specifications.
