1455 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 36-unit apartment building at 1455 Filbert Street in Russian Hill, owned by Gallina Family LP, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1960. Most recently, in April 2024, electrical upgrades were completed including the replacement of a 100-amp Federal Pacific sub-panel and unit sub-panel work.

The building has seen substantial exterior improvements, including the installation of fiber cement siding in 2020 ($48,850) and replacement of 36 vinyl windows in 2012 ($12,500). However, multiple heating and safety concerns have been documented over the years, particularly regarding the building's heating systems. Most notably, in 2022, a significant complaint was filed regarding heating restrictions, with reports of unregulated temperatures and improper heating times continuing back to 2011.

The building has also experienced recurring fire safety issues, with violations noted for sprinkler systems in 2022 and previous years, though most were corrected promptly. A pattern of building maintenance and safety compliance issues is evident, with several violations and complaints related to security systems, emergency lighting, and general building upkeep being recorded between 2006 and 2024. While many historical issues have been addressed through proper permits and corrections, the building's history shows ongoing challenges with systems maintenance and regulatory compliance, particularly in relation to heating and fire safety systems.
