Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 972-976 Filbert Street in Russian Hill is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1912, currently owned by the Suk Ling Fong 1990 Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, most notably a complete reroofing in 2017 costing approximately $13,880, and two sidewalk repairs in 2002. A significant code compliance effort was completed in 1985, though specific details of what was addressed are not available in the records. The building has been subject to three routine housing inspections in 2000, 2005, and 2006, all of which were completed without any noted ongoing concerns.

More recently, the property experienced sewer-related issues in February 2022, with two documented sewage backup incidents involving a 4-inch sewer vent, both of which were resolved through field work by PUC Sewer Operations. Between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple instances of street cleaning and waste management concerns in the immediate vicinity, including cases of overflowing city garbage cans and toters being left out continuously. These waste management issues appear to have been particularly pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic period (2020) when normal sanitation practices may have been disrupted. While these environmental maintenance issues don't directly affect the building's structural integrity or safety, they do indicate some challenges with the property's immediate surroundings.

Risk rating

How 972-976 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, 351 are predicted to be safer.

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
