3535 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 3535 Fillmore Street, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Fillmore Street Apts LLC, has undergone significant improvements and renovations over the past decade. Most recently, in early 2024, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The property successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 4), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Between 2015 and 2021, the building underwent extensive unit renovations, including various units receiving kitchen relocations, bathroom additions, and comprehensive electrical rewiring, significantly modernizing the building's facilities.

Recent mechanical upgrades include the replacement of the steam boiler in November 2023 and work completed in 2021 involving bathroom and kitchen improvements. The building has experienced periodic fire safety issues, with multiple fire code violations recorded between 2009 and 2020, primarily related to alarm systems and maintenance requirements. However, these violations were addressed and abated. Historical violations from 2006-2010 included issues with smoke enclosure doors and gas utility shutoff tools, all of which were resolved.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily concerned external maintenance issues such as garbage collection and pavement defects, rather than internal building problems. The most recent building permits and improvements focus on safety improvements and unit modernization, indicating ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems. The property has also had one recent fire escape complaint in 2024, which was corrected within two months. All these improvements and repairs suggest an active management approach to maintaining and upgrading the building's infrastructure and safety systems.
