1885 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The two-story, eight-unit multi-family residential building at 1885 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, built in 1953 and owned by Kg Bay Area Investors Llc, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the past decades. The most recent major renovation was completed in early 2022, focusing on Unit 6, which included a bathroom remodel, plumbing upgrades, installation of a ductless split system, and electrical work including a new sub-panel and lighting improvements, with a total cost of approximately $10,000. The building has a documented history of fire safety compliance issues, particularly during the 2000s, with multiple violations related to fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, smoke enclosure doors, and alarm systems.

A routine inspection in 2005 revealed several fire safety concerns, including combustible storage issues, which were subsequently addressed by November 2011. Earlier building permits show some maintenance work, including reroofing projects in 1992, though these permits are now expired. While there have been a few fire safety-related violations, all were resolved within a reasonable timeframe.

The building's most recent inspections have not indicated any active violations, and there have been no recorded fire incidents resulting in injuries. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues, as evidenced by recent 311 calls in 2024 regarding abandoned furniture, debris, and an abandoned vehicle, though these are external to the building itself. The property has undergone regular maintenance and updates in recent years, with the most substantial work focusing on Unit 6 between late 2021 and early 2022, suggesting ongoing investment in building improvements and systems modernization.
