647-651 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The three-story multi-family residential building at 647-651 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Kockos Kent, was constructed in 1908 and contains 6 units. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past few decades, most notably completing required soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017 at a cost of $50,000, and addressing reroofing needs in 2000 for $6,480. Multiple safety concerns were documented in 2003 and 2008, including gas meter safety requirements, fire safety issues, and security improvements, all of which were subsequently addressed and closed out.

A major incident occurred in March 2019 involving collapsed temporary structures with unsecured materials, though this complaint was later marked as not active. More recent building maintenance issues include a water leak complaint in 2017 and several sidewalk cleaning incidents between 2019-2023, primarily involving waste and hazardous materials, which were all resolved. The property has maintained compliance with current safety regulations, as evidenced by the completed work and issuance of Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) for the soft-story retrofit program under Tier 3 status.

The building's historical maintenance record shows attention to compliance with safety requirements, particularly fire safety and seismic retrofitting, which suggests an ongoing commitment to maintaining structural integrity and resident safety. While there have been various complaints and violations over the years, virtually all have been addressed and resolved, with no active violations on record as of the most recent data. The property has also experienced typical urban challenges as noted in 311 calls, primarily related to street and sidewalk maintenance, though these issues appear to be external to the building itself and have been consistently resolved by appropriate city agencies.
