238-240 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 238-240 Fillmore Street property in Hayes Valley is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Elizabeth J Marsh and A Sopko. The building is undergoing significant renovations as evidenced by recent permit activity, with the most substantial work occurring under a $400,000 permit filed in January 2024, including rear facade reconfiguration, interior remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms, basement excavation, structural upgrades, and new exterior stairs. This follows a previously withdrawn permit from February 2023 proposing similar work.

The building has seen several infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a 2022 electrical upgrade to a 200-amp service with three meters plus a house meter. The property has maintained its basic structure with completed work including a reroofing project in 2015 and repair of dryrot at front steps in 2012. However, there have been recurring issues with street cleanliness and waste management around the property, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports of abandoned garbage, furniture, and debris - including several complaints about improperly disposed refrigerators and appliances.

A significant volume of garbage-related 311 calls were recorded between June and November 2024, indicating ongoing challenges with waste disposal in the vicinity. Notably, there was also a public health-related service request in September 2024, though the specific nature of this request is not detailed in the records. The property has received planning approval for a rear yard encroachment variance, allowing for approximately 2 feet of rear yard encroachment representing 25% of the lot depth, as part of the current renovation project.
