250 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 46-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building at 250 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by 250 Fell A2 LP, has undergone significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1926. Between 2020-2022, the building underwent extensive unit renovations, including multiple conversions of existing kitchens to bedrooms/studies and relocation of kitchens in units 24, 27, 42, 49, 56, and 65, along with bathroom rehabilitations and washer/dryer installations, with costs ranging from $25,000 to $48,000 per unit. A notable structural repair occurred in 2022 with the replacement of a column in unit 24 at a cost of $9,000.

More recently, in early 2024, there was a noise complaint regarding construction work in apartment 69, and in late 2022, concerns were raised about an extended elevator outage affecting elderly residents. The building has experienced several safety-related issues over the years, including multiple fire safety concerns. In 2023, there was a violation related to sleeping area requirements, and in 2022, violations were recorded for alarm system and sprinkler/standpipe systems, though some were subsequently corrected or found to have no merit.

A boiler permit issue was addressed in 2019-2020, along with various maintenance matters such as a problematic elevator, cement dust cleanup, and construction noise complaints. The building's fire incident history shows several false alarms and system activations, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The property has also seen regular maintenance and modernization efforts, including an upgrade to the fire alarm system in 2022 to meet current code requirements. Recent tenant buyout activity was recorded in December 2023, with one tenant receiving $15,000 in compensation.
