2815 Filbert St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2815 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, built in 1926 and currently owned by Mehan Properties LLC, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 (Tier 4) to meet seismic safety requirements, involving the installation of plywood shearwalls and anchor bolts in the garage areas.

The building has received consistent attention to its mechanical systems, with backflow device replacements and steam boiler updates occurring between 2017-2019, though a recent complaint about boiler permit renewal was filed in April 2024. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety compliance issues over its history, with particular attention needed in the early 2000s when multiple housing code violations were recorded, including problems with heating systems, fire safety equipment, and security requirements. These violations, while not currently active, were abated by June 2005.

More recent building complaints from 2018 and 2019 noted general maintenance concerns and heating system issues, though these are no longer active. The building's fire safety systems have required periodic attention, with multiple alarm system complaints between 2006 and 2023, though most were resolved with "Condition Corrected" dispositions. The property has also had recurring issues with sidewalk parking and debris on the street outside, as evidenced by several recent 311 calls between 2021-2025, though these are exterior issues not directly affecting building residents.
