1620-1624 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The four-unit, four-story multi-family residential building at 1620-1624 Fell Street in Park North, built in 1904 and currently owned by the William Riedstra Living Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related events over its history. Most notably, in 2017, the building underwent routine safety inspections that revealed multiple fire safety concerns, including the need to recharge fire extinguishers, install carbon monoxide alarms, and address roof access safety issues. These violations were all promptly abated by May 11, 2017.

Earlier inspection records from 2004 had documented various safety concerns, including issues with wood stairs, smoke detectors, emergency exits, and window security bars, though these were also resolved. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural upkeep, with a significant reroofing project completed in 2007 at a cost of approximately $14,620, and plumbing work completed in 2010 involving sewer line replacement at the sidewalk. Recent activity in the vicinity of the building over the past year includes multiple 311 calls regarding street and sidewalk maintenance, lighting issues, and cleanliness concerns.

Of particular note, there is an ongoing issue with a pavement defect reported in September 2023 that remains open. The building's recent violations and complaints have been limited to routine inspections, with no major safety or structural issues reported since 2017. The property's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep and prompt response to safety concerns when identified, though the relatively high number of street maintenance calls in the area indicates ongoing neighborhood cleanliness challenges.
