2151-2153 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2151-2153 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, owned by 2000 Kozma/malone Family Tr, was constructed in 1909 and contains two legal dwelling units. The building has undergone several significant renovations, most notably a substantial 2018 renovation to unit #2153 that included kitchen and bathroom remodeling, wall modifications, footing work, and the addition of new fixtures, which was properly documented with building, plumbing, and electrical permits totaling approximately $55,000.

Other documented improvements include a solar PV installation in 2008, various electrical upgrades in 2003, and sewer work in 2011. However, as of August 2024, the property is currently facing serious regulatory challenges following a complaint that revealed potentially unauthorized modifications, with inspectors noting evidence of at least three units having been constructed without proper permits or inspections between 1999-2008.

This situation has resulted in multiple life safety violations being cited, including issues with egress, heating, fire safety, and proper habitation standards, leading to its designation as a nuisance property. The building's maintenance history includes roof replacements in 1993 and 2001, and it has recently experienced various street-related issues such as garbage debris removal, parking violations, and hazardous materials concerns, though these are primarily external to the building itself. While the recent renovation work demonstrates some level of property upkeep, the ongoing legal and safety compliance issues represent significant concerns that require attention.
