Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 570-574 Filbert Street in Telegraph Hill, built in 1907, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades. The property has seen substantial unit upgrades from 2009 to 2017, including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels across various units, electrical system upgrades, and foundation repairs. Notable improvements include foundation work in 2009 ($12,000), comprehensive unit renovations in 2009-2013, and substantial remodeling of the first-floor front apartment in 2015-2017 ($40,000). The building's mechanical systems have also been modernized, with multiple furnace installations and replacements documented between 2009 and 2017.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues that were addressed over time. These include a 2009 incident involving improper asbestos removal, 2006 concerns about stair repairs and fire escape maintenance, and a 2000 violation regarding illegal unit use that was subsequently abated. Recent fire incidents have been minor, consisting of two carbon monoxide detector activations and a contained cooking fire, all with no reported injuries. The property has had recurring issues with garbage and debris on the surrounding streets, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, though these are external to the building itself. Additionally, there was one instance of black mold reported in 2006, which was resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 570-574 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.
