The property at 2468-2470 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1951, currently owned by the Summe Family Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2023-2024, including front and rear facade improvements, window replacements, HVAC upgrades, and comprehensive interior renovations in both units. The project, valued at approximately $545,538, also included the installation of a new roof terrace, though fire sprinklers for the top unit were deferred.

Additional improvements in 2023 encompassed complete rewiring of the third/fourth unit, bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, and updates to electrical systems including the installation of a car charger in the garage. The building has experienced several permit-related issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2023-2024 regarding work being performed without proper permits or beyond the scope of approved permits, particularly concerning the top fourth floor. A significant portion of the 2023-2024 renovations has now been completed or is nearing completion, including plumbing and electrical upgrades, new water heaters, and facade work.

Earlier improvements included garage door replacements in 2019 and an entry gate replacement in 2021. The property has faced some infrastructure challenges, including a sewer backup incident in 2022 and plumbing work related to sewer lateral replacement in 2023. While there have been multiple 311 calls related to the property, these primarily concerned parking issues and general maintenance rather than building safety concerns. The building's historical status has been referenced in various planning records, including attempts to legalize a third unit, though this variance request was disapproved.
