2688-2690 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The property at 2688-2690 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by the Russell Family Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably the installation of a modern fire alarm system in 2024, including wireless low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and monitoring capabilities, for which permits were issued in June and December 2024. A sewer repair was completed in June 2020, demonstrating attention to essential infrastructure maintenance.

The building has a history of addressing safety and maintenance issues, with several violations recorded in 2002 related to the central alarm system, fire escape ladder, door security, and gas meter requirements, all of which were abated by November 2002. Similar alarm system violations were recorded in 2009, though these were also resolved. Recent history shows three unintentional smoke or alarm system activations (situation 743 and 745), but no fire incidents or civilian injuries related to these events.

The most recent maintenance activity suggests ongoing commitment to building safety and compliance, as evidenced by the substantial investment in the new fire alarm system. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, as documented in numerous 311 calls between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself and primarily affect street access. A singular incident of human or animal waste on or near the property was reported in March 2023, which was resolved. The building underwent routine housing inspections in 2002 and 2009, which previously identified various safety and security requirements that were subsequently addressed.
