2500 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2500 Fillmore St in Pacific Heights, owned by Habash Elias & Hala, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1932. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic safety improvements in 2018, including both commercial and residential soft story retrofits, which cost approximately $120,900 together. These improvements were necessary to comply with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements and have since received Completion Certificates. The building has maintained an active compliance record since, with its Soft Story program classified as Tier 4 with work complete and CFC issued.

Looking back at the building's history reveals several important events. In 2002, the property experienced multiple violations during a routine inspection, particularly related to safety systems including the fire escape ladder, central alarm system, and various interior maintenance issues. These violations were documented and subsequently abated by May 2003. Additionally, there was one instance of water damage from an upstairs unit in 2002 requiring drywall replacement and some electrical work completed in the same year.

More recent history shows regular urban infrastructure interactions typical for the area, including multiple parking meter damage reports and street cleaning issues, though these are external to the building itself and reflect general neighborhood conditions rather than building-specific problems. The property has undergone three routine safety inspections between 1996 and 2014, with all cases being resolved and closed. The most recent interaction with city services was regarding general urban maintenance issues through 311 calls in 2024, which are primarily external matters unrelated to the building's structural or safety systems. The building's most recent documented concern was addressed through the mandatory Soft Story program, demonstrating adherence to current safety standards.
