460 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 460 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Tai Kwan Lee Llc, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work since its construction in 1906. Most recently, in August 2023, a mandatory fire alarm upgrade was filed to comply with California state fire marshal requirements, though this permit currently has a status of "Filed." The building has seen substantial window improvements, with two separate window replacement projects in 2021 totaling 130 windows ($126,254), and prior work included repairs to a rear covered porch area in 2014 ($35,000) and a voluntary seismic upgrade in 2007 ($38,000).

The property has had various electrical improvements, including the installation of motion lights and outlets on back landings in 2014. Historical records show a pattern of routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1999, 2000, 2008, and 2018, though no significant issues appear in the most recent inspections.

While there was a building complaint in January 2023 regarding possible unpermitted work and loud masonry grinding noises, this case is currently marked as "Not Active." The building experienced several fire safety violations in 2006 related to unmaintained fire extinguishers, stairs, and fire alarms, but these were subsequently closed. Recent years have shown consistent attention to building maintenance and upgrades, including roofing work in 2020 ($20,000) and garage door relocation attempts in 2019, though these permits were filed but their current status is not indicated. The property has generated multiple street cleaning service requests between 2013-2019, primarily related to loose garbage, though these are typical for urban environments and were generally resolved promptly.
