2847 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 2847 Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1900, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018, installing steel columns at the front façade at a cost of $45,000, bringing the property into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building has experienced recurring issues with its rear decks, most recently evidenced by a September 2023 complaint about an unsafe deck on the top level, which was eventually abated by January 2024.

Previous deck-related work includes repairs to deck braces, wood rot remediation, and railing replacement in 2018, as well as voluntary replacement of the rear deck in unit #5 in 2013. The property has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded in 2005-2006 related to fire escape ladders, smoke detectors, and the central alarm system, though these were eventually abated. The building's electrical infrastructure has been updated over the years, with a main service entrance upgrade and installation of seven meters completed in 2003, and kitchen rewiring in 2015.

Recent maintenance records show various exterior and safety improvements, including deck repairs and electrical upgrades, though some older violations from the mid-2000s appear to have persisted longer than usual before resolution. The building also experienced plumbing-related issues in 2018, with repairs documented under a sidewalk defect complaint. While the soft-story retrofit and other improvements demonstrate ongoing maintenance engagement, the building's history shows recurring attention to deck safety and fire system functionality.
