454-458 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The three-unit residential building at 454-458 Fell Street, located in Hayes Valley, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by the Lehtola Bearden Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with recent work including a completed bathroom remodel in 2015 (valued at $40,000) that included plumbing and electrical upgrades.

Prior to that, the building received a new roof in 2014 (costing $12,500) and has shown attention to structural maintenance with documented repairs to stairs and decks in 1996. The building has undergone routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2018, 2011, and other years, with the most notable cluster of violations occurring in 2007 that included issues with plumbing permits, gas meter requirements, general maintenance, and water heaters, all of which were resolved by July 2007. Recent activity at the building has been minimal in terms of major structural work, though there have been multiple street space permits issued between 2015-2016.

The building has experienced several false fire alarms and smoke detector activations (all recorded incidents had no injuries or actual fires), and there have been recent complaints about parking violations in the vicinity, particularly regarding sidewalk parking and blocking driveways in late 2024. A bathroom-related complaint was filed in September 2024, though this was marked as "Closed Accepted" by the Department of Building Inspection. The property has maintained regular compliance with routine safety inspections, with all identified violations being promptly addressed, demonstrating ongoing attention to building maintenance and safety requirements.
