1472 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1472 Filbert Street property is a 6-story, 73-unit multi-family residential building located in the Russian Hill neighborhood and constructed in 1927. The building has undergone substantial renovations in recent years, with at least 15 apartment units receiving significant upgrades between 2020 and 2022, including new bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and modern appliances such as dishwashers and washer/dryers. A notable development application to add 4 ADU units on the ground floor was filed in 2020 but is currently marked as "On Hold." The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years.

Most concerning was a 2023 complaint about lack of hot water affecting multiple units, which follows a similar complaint from 1998. There have been two violations related to the boiler system: one in 2006 regarding fire escape drop ladders and another in 2022 concerning an unpermitted boiler operation, though the most recent plumbing record shows a new boiler installation in March 2024. Additional maintenance concerns include a 2023 report of water intrusion through a window/wall in Unit 404 and a heat supply issue in 2022.

The building's fire safety systems have required attention, including a 2020 comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade and a 2023 violation regarding sleeping area requirements. Eight fire-related incidents have been recorded since 2007, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The property's management has also faced scrutiny during renovation periods, with complaints in 2018 about construction debris and safety concerns affecting common areas and the presence of minors.
