2345 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 24-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2345 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Mehan Properties LLC, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (cost: $50,000) as required by San Francisco building codes.

The property has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with the most recent violations in 2020 and 2022 related to sprinkler systems and documentation requirements, though these conditions were subsequently corrected or abated. Significant maintenance issues have emerged, including a mold and water intrusion problem in 2017, illegal roof deck construction in 2018, and a heating system violation in 2001 that was resolved within months. Recent building improvements include the legalization of a roof deck and addition of a walkway for emergency egress in 2018 (cost: $30,000), as well as multiple fire safety system updates.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep with reroofing projects completed in 2014 (cost: $46,000) and 1989, though several routine safety inspections have revealed various fire safety system deficiencies over the years, including issues with emergency exit lights, fire escape ladders, and carbon monoxide alarms. The property has experienced multiple elevator rescue incidents (with no civilian injuries) as evidenced by fire incident records, and there has been one documented instance of excessive heat/steam issues. While the building has had periodic violations and complaints, most have been addressed promptly, though some historical issues suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with all building codes and safety requirements.
