1005-1009 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1005-1009 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Basil & Susanne Mufarreh Fm, was constructed in 1903 and spans three stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably the addition of a basement residential unit completed in 2017, followed by the installation of a fire sprinkler system in 2021.

As of August 2023, comprehensive renovation work is underway including electrical wiring installation, plumbing updates for multiple units (1001C, 1003C, 1007C, and 427C), and documentation of existing structural conditions at the foundation and first floor framing. The building has experienced various maintenance and safety-related events, with the most serious incident being a gas leak incident recorded by fire services, though no civilian injuries were reported. Historical records from 2008 show a series of violations related to fire safety, security, and building maintenance, including issues with fire escape drop ladders, stair repairs, and fire extinguisher requirements; however, these violations were promptly addressed and abated by June 2008.

The property has undergone regular routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2004, 2010, and 2017, though no significant issues were reported in recent inspections. While there have been several maintenance requests in the surrounding area, mostly regarding sidewalk conditions and graffiti (with the most recent graffiti incident reported in February 2024), these are not directly related to building safety or habitability. The building's recent improvements, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system and ongoing electrical and plumbing upgrades, suggest active maintenance and modernization efforts by the current ownership.
