Initial analysis

The property at 1154-1158 Filbert Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Nancy Ruiz. The building has undergone several significant renovations and modifications over the years, including a successful conversion of storage space to a parking garage in 2003 (cost: $35,000) and a complete reroofing project in 2004 (cost: $11,880). Foundation work was attempted in 2003 but the permit expired, and several earlier renovation attempts from the 1980s (including bathroom remodeling and deck changes) were cancelled. A notable building complaint filed in January 2018 reported an unpermitted kitchen sink and wetbar on the lower floor, though this issue was officially abated by December 2021.

The property has experienced various infrastructure and maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls related to parking enforcement and abandoned vehicles near the property between 2020 and 2024, though these are primarily street-related matters rather than building-specific problems. There were also some exterior maintenance issues recorded in 2021, including pavement defects and sign issues, which were resolved. The building's history includes two significant planning actions: a vertical addition proposal (currently closed - informational) and a violation related to illegal short-term rentals that was addressed and abated, with the property required to convert listings to a minimum 30-day stay requirement.

Risk rating

How 1154-1158 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, 499 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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building size

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 45.4%
Moderate concern 18.3%
Severe concern 36.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
