1580 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94123

1580 Filbert Street is a 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential apartment building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Schmidt Properties LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in March 2023, fire safety upgrades were completed including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and an audible fire alarm system throughout all units. In 2015, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting at the garage/storage level, demonstrating compliance with current safety standards.

The property has maintained a proactive approach to maintenance and upgrades, with multiple unit renovations completed between 2011-2012, including kitchen remodels in units 1, 6, and 12, all of which included electrical and plumbing upgrades. Historical maintenance records show attention to basic infrastructure such as window replacements in 2008 and roof work in 2012. The building has experienced three fire-related incidents since 2018, all of which were minor with no civilian injuries reported - including one cooking fire contained to a container and two false alarms. While there was a cluster of building violations noted in 2004 related to fire safety and electrical systems, these were promptly addressed and abated by 2005.

More recent fire safety inspections in 2018 and 2022 showed either corrections made or no merit to the complaints. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 1999, 2004, and 2010, all of which resulted in no ongoing violations. Outside the building itself, there have been several recent 311 calls regarding street cleaning and parking enforcement, which are typical for urban environments and not directly related to building conditions. The most recent maintenance activities, including the 2023 fire safety upgrades, suggest active management and adherence to building codes and safety requirements.
