1550 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94123

1550 Filbert Street is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Cow Hollow, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by the 2018 Marla Vance Revocable Trust. The property has undergone significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, including a completed seismic retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3 Soft Story compliance), multiple roof replacements (most recently in December 2023), and various plumbing upgrades including sewer line and house-trap replacement in 2020, and steam boiler installation in 2017. The building has faced several fire safety issues, with recurring violations related to alarm systems, blocked exits, and sprinkler systems between 2009 and 2024, though most have been corrected or resolved.

A notable active heating complaint was filed in December 2024 regarding inadequate temperature maintenance and radiator control. The building experienced multiple fire safety violations in 2006 that were promptly addressed, and more recent building complaints from 2023-2024 have included issues with plumbing (clogs), hoarding, and general maintenance items. Regular maintenance work has been documented, including termite repairs in 2009 and various street space permits.

The property has shown consistent attention to structural safety through various improvements and timely response to violations, though several systems-related issues have persisted over time. Recent maintenance activities, such as the 2023 re-roofing project and the 2020 sewer line work, demonstrate ongoing investment in the building's infrastructure. The active heating complaint from late 2024 and recent plumbing-related issues suggest there may be some ongoing challenges with building systems, though many historical violations and complaints have been addressed through subsequent repairs or corrections.
