675 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The 8-unit, 2-story apartment building at 675 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Jeffrey Wang & Lisa Wong Re, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1963. Most recently, in 2024, the building received a new flat roof with a modified bitumen system ($15,750) and completed a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current safety requirements ($23,200), including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has demonstrated a commitment to structural safety, completing a Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2016 that included installing steel moment frames and strengthening shear walls ($104,000).

Historical maintenance work includes window replacements in 2012, dry rot repairs to stairways in 2008, and the installation of a fire sprinkler system in 1993. The property experienced a notable incident in 2019 with significant flooding in one apartment, though this has since been resolved. In 2008, the building faced multiple violations related to structural hazards, garage ventilation, and combustible storage concerns, all of which were abated by June 2008.

Routine safety inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent inspections in 2019 showing no active issues. The building's exterior and surrounding areas have been maintained through various municipal services, with recent attention to overgrown trees (2024) and general cleaning (2023). While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the street and sidewalk conditions around the building, these are typical for the area and don't directly reflect on the building's maintenance or safety.
