Initial analysis

The property at 882-884 Filbert Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1908 and presently owned by Wilson & Mary Lam 2009 Fmly. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent being a comprehensive bathroom remodel completed in October 2024, costing $28,000. Prior renovations include a kitchen remodel in 2019 ($20,775), sewer spot repair in 2013, roofing work in 2000, and a horizontal extension with closet addition in 1986. The kitchen remodel in 2019 required additional plumbing work to address inspector comments regarding laundry rough, indicating attention to proper code compliance.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with all major improvement permits marked as complete. While there have been multiple complaints about driveway blocking in the vicinity of the property from 2023 to 2024 (seven incidents in total), these are external parking enforcement issues rather than building-specific concerns. Two street cleaning issues were reported (one in 2024 and one in 2020), and there was a single incident of graffiti reported in 2017 that was determined to be unrelated to PGE streetlight operations. The property's permit history suggests consistent investment in maintenance and improvements, with no major safety or structural concerns recorded in recent years.

Risk rating

How 882-884 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 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 159 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.8%
Moderate concern 9.5%
Severe concern 8.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
