Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 558-562 Filbert Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Robert C III & Clare L Gord, contains 14 units and was constructed in 1907. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably a major foundation replacement project in 2019 costing $120,000 that replaced the brick foundation with a concrete one. That same year, comprehensive fire safety upgrades were implemented, including the installation of a new fire alarm system with sprinkler monitoring and low-frequency sounders, as well as the addition of 24 new sprinklers in remodeled units and egress paths in accordance with NFPA standards. The building has also completed its required soft-story seismic retrofit work.

Recent complaints from October 2024 suggest concerns about unauthorized modifications to the building's roof deck access, specifically regarding an exterior staircase's construction differing from approved permits. The building's history includes several unit renovations and system upgrades, such as furnace replacements in multiple units (2010), comprehensive electrical system updates (2005-2019), and various plumbing improvements. A significant tenant buyout occurred in July 2020 at 562 Filbert Street, involving a payment of $158,000 for one tenant. The property has maintained active compliance with routine housing inspections, though it had a notable violation in 2004 regarding an unpermitted roof deck that was eventually resolved in 2007. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates and improvements, particularly focusing on safety systems and unit modernization.

Risk rating

How 558-562 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 650 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 12.7%
Moderate concern 62.5%
Severe concern 24.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
