1030 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 9-unit apartment building at 1030 Fell St in Alamo Square, owned by Lourdes Sainez, is a 3-story multi-family residential structure built in 1926. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with the most substantial work occurring in 2022, when Unit #6 received a comprehensive $40,000 renovation including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and furnace replacement.

The building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2014, achieving Tier 3 status with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. All units have received varying degrees of renovation since 2014, including Unit #4 which underwent multiple improvements including window replacement in 2018, and Units #2, #3, #5, #7, and #8 which have all been modernized with new kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical systems. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, particularly with recurring fire safety inspections noting issues with alarm systems and extinguishers in 2016, 2017, and most recently in 2024, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected." A significant violation occurred in 2018 involving improper debris disposal during interior work, but this was resolved by 2019.

Historical violations from 2005 related to various safety and maintenance issues (including fire escape repairs and lead paint concerns) were all officially abated by 2019. Recent building observations show regular safety inspections being conducted, with the most recent inspection in 2018 showing no active violations. The property's maintenance record suggests ongoing investment in unit upgrades and building safety systems, with all major building systems including plumbing, electrical, and heating being regularly updated or replaced as needed.
