Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 480-482 Filbert Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Lloyd & Theresa Colombini, was constructed in 1939 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex building. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past two decades. The most substantial work was completed in 2013, including the addition of a half bath, relocation of laundry facilities, ground floor renovation, and major electrical upgrade to 200 amps, along with corresponding plumbing work for new fixtures and electrical systems. Earlier improvements included window replacement in 2001 (12 vinyl windows), kitchen cabinet replacement and bathroom remodeling (2002), concrete garage floor replacement (2003), and roofing work (2002).

The building has experienced recurring sewer issues, with documented sewer backup incidents in 2020, 2021, 2022, and a sewer repair completed in 2018, suggesting ongoing plumbing system challenges. A resident complaint in March 2019 regarding dust during construction work indicates some sensitivity to renovation activities. The property has been properly maintained with regular updates to infrastructure, including a complete electrical system upgrade in 2013 consisting of new panels, circuits, and safety features. The sidewalk and street space adjacent to the building have been periodically addressed through city permits in 2001, 2012, and 2018. Recent maintenance issues have mostly been addressed through normal city services, including tree maintenance (2022) and street cleaning (2020). The building's overall permit history demonstrates compliance with required improvements, though the recurring sewer issues may be of note to potential occupants.

Risk rating

How 480-482 Filbert St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
