1857-1859 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 1857-1859 Filbert Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Cow Hollow, built in 1900 and currently owned by Sen Living Trust. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with the most recent concerns centered around deck maintenance and unauthorized modifications. The rear deck area has required multiple repairs, including addressing dry rot issues in 2016 and a leak under the deck in 2015, with work values typically around $500.

In 2013, several inspection approvals were completed, including corrections to a previously noted extension violation in 2012 that involved removing a 10'x54' section from the second floor. The property has a history of both building violations and complaints, particularly evident from 2001-2010, when multiple safety and compliance issues were documented, including problems with stairs, electrical fixtures, and security features. More recent complaints from 2018-2020 have focused on unpermitted construction work, unauthorized modifications, and issues with construction debris. A notable complaint from 2020 involved concerns about curb modifications that appeared to be related to driveway access.

The property has also generated several 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to garbage and debris on the property, though these issues are generally typical for the neighborhood and not necessarily indicative of any structural or safety concerns. While many historical violations and complaints have been resolved, the building's maintenance history suggests periodic attention is required, particularly regarding deck and exterior maintenance. The most recent building permit activity and complaints indicate ongoing oversight of modifications and repairs, with several recent noise-related complaints suggesting construction work has continued to be a focus of resident concerns. The property's location and age suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, though recent records indicate fewer documented safety violations compared to the earlier 2000s.
