657-659 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 13-unit, 4-story apartment building at 657-659 Fillmore Street, constructed in 1909, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting in 2017, with separate permits for residential ($77,000) and commercial ($30,000) components, followed by electrical upgrades including a Ufer ground installation and new circuits in 2018. The building experienced a fire incident in January 2006 that caused substantial damage (over $30,000), necessitating repairs including smoke alarm installations, bathroom remodeling, and electrical work in affected units.

Recent complaints from 2017 reported mold issues and pest problems, though these were marked as "Not Active." A routine safety inspection in 2011 and periodic fire safety inspections in 2015, 2016, and 2019 addressed fire alarm and sprinkler systems, with all conditions ultimately corrected. Current concerns include an active routine inspection as of September 2023, and recent reports of graffiti (2024) and sidewalk defects (2023) in front of the property. Historical records show various maintenance work, including reroofing projects in 1989 and 2006, window replacements in 2003, and multiple routine inspections.

The building has also had its share of housing code violations, particularly in 2006, with issues related to security, fire escape maintenance, and gas utility requirements - all of which were abated by December 2006. The property has been classified as a "nuisance" in 2017 due to mold and pest issues, though this designation has since been resolved. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to exterior maintenance and public space concerns rather than building-specific issues.
