442-444 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The property at 442-444 Fell Street is a 2-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Bolbolan Shahla. The building's maintenance history shows several significant events, most notably a series of violations and necessary corrections between 2007 and 2013, including multiple plumbing and electrical issues, unauthorized renovations, and safety concerns regarding garbage management and fire safety requirements. In 2013, a complaint was filed regarding unpermitted plumbing work, which was subsequently addressed with proper permits for plumbing repairs.

The building underwent several permitted improvements, including reroofing projects in 1990 and 2012 costing $8,300, a horizontal addition and structural modifications in 1991, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. A routine safety inspection in 2018 revealed issues with heating systems and unauthorized plumbing work. More recent history shows the building has maintained compliance with basic safety standards, with no active violations since 2018.

The property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as documented in 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning, graffiti, and parking concerns between 2021 and 2024. Planning records indicate an approved project for a deck installation on the side of the house that partially intrudes into the required rear yard area. The building's documented history suggests a period of concentrated maintenance and compliance issues around 2012-2013, which appear to have been addressed through proper permitting and corrections, with no significant violations recorded in recent years. The most recent building-related issues have primarily consisted of routine urban maintenance problems rather than structural or safety concerns.
