2960 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2960 Fillmore Street in Cow Hollow, constructed in 1926, has experienced several significant events throughout its history. Most notably, the building suffered fire damage in 2001 that affected three units, requiring $65,000 in repairs, and has had multiple fire safety-related violations, including issues with smoke enclosure doors, fire extinguishers, and escape routes in 2006. The building has undergone various maintenance and safety improvements over the years, including the installation of backflow prevention assemblies in 2022 and 2013, and more recent fire safety inspections in 2024 that identified and corrected issues with alarm systems.

In 2013, there were concerns about structural movement between this building and an adjacent new construction, though these complaints were marked as not active. The building's most recent permits and complaints suggest ongoing attention to safety systems, though there have been numerous reports of exterior maintenance issues, including multiple 311 calls about sidewalk blockages and garbage management between 2024 and 2025. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, with a significant pattern of violations and complaints appearing between 2001 and 2006, particularly related to fire safety and building maintenance.

While many of these historical issues have been addressed, as evidenced by completed permits and resolved violations, there are ongoing concerns about exterior maintenance and safety systems, as shown by the recent 311 calls and fire safety inspections. The building's ownership, represented by 2960 Fillmore Street LLC, has taken steps to address most regulatory requirements, though the frequency of recent sidewalk blockage and debris reports in 2024-2025 suggests continued challenges with exterior maintenance. The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the past decades, including boiler system upgrades, though there have been periods of permit compliance issues, such as the 2001 complaint regarding an unpermitted boiler operation that persisted until corrected in 2021.
