1799 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1799 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, constructed in 1963, has undergone several significant safety system upgrades in recent years. Most notably, the building has received comprehensive fire safety improvements, including a complete fire alarm system replacement in 2022 ($18,000) with low-frequency horn/strobes installed in hallways and sleeping areas, followed by additional modifications in 2023. The building's electrical systems have also been prioritized, with the recent relocation of electrical service in 2024 and previous upgrades including the replacement of Federal Pacific sub-panels in 2020 and a service upgrade requested by insurance in 2019.

Several infrastructure improvements have taken place, including window replacements in 2014 ($15,000) and plumbing updates in 2008 involving water heater relocation and gas line modifications. The property has a history of addressing fire safety compliance issues, as evidenced by multiple building violations in the early 2000s related to fire escapes and smoke enclosure door closers, all of which were properly abated by 2006. A single building complaint regarding unauthorized construction work was filed in 2016 but is now inactive.

Recent building maintenance requests from 2023-2024 have primarily focused on exterior concerns, including sidewalk maintenance and tree-related issues. Planning records indicate an approved project for constructing an elevator at the rear of the building, suggesting future accessibility improvements, though no developer has been specified. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both safety systems and general upkeep, with most recent permits indicating ongoing commitment to maintaining current building codes and resident safety standards.
