1736-1738 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 1736-1738 Fell Street property is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Forge Invest Dv Llc and located in San Francisco's Park North neighborhood. The building has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over the past several years, with multiple active violations remaining from 2017 and 2018 related to lead paint hazards, exterior stairs, weather proofing, building attachments, and egress obstructions.

A major renovation project commenced in 2021 with permits for extensive work including kitchen and bathroom remodels in all three units, stair repairs, and window renovations, with a cost estimate of $220,000. Subsequent revisions and additional permits followed to address interior wall reconfiguration, attic expansion, installation of new furnaces, water heaters, and comprehensive plumbing updates. The property has faced several concerning issues including reports of abandoned construction work causing debris problems, incomplete renovations leading to safety concerns, and pest control issues.

Notable incidents include a 2018 complaint about collapsed back stairs and blocked egress, as well as multiple violations regarding debris and blight. While some improvements have been documented through various permits, including electrical rewiring and bathroom/kitchen remodels in 2022, there remain active building violations that have not been fully resolved. Recent complaints from 2022 and 2023 indicated concerns about construction progress and property maintenance, with reports of construction materials being left on the property and impacts on neighboring buildings.
