Initial analysis

This three-story multi-family residential building, located at 1298 Filbert Street in Russian Hill and owned by Peach Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1908 and contains three units. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being a water heater replacement in 2019 and the installation of a catch basin and electrical work in the garage area in 2016. A substantial garage renovation was completed in 2015, involving wall replacements, door widening, and roof structure work at a cost of $60,000. The property has experienced some compliance issues, including an unpermitted deck installation in 2000 that was resolved, and a period of unpermitted renovations in 1998 involving roof, wall, and window work.

Recent maintenance records show regular upkeep of major systems, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in 1999, stucco repairs in 1998, and reroofing work in 1997. The building has been subject to routine housing inspections between 2000 and 2007, all of which were resolved. While there have been numerous 311 calls in the surrounding area in recent months (2023-2024), most relate to street maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns. A single fire alarm system activation was recorded, which was determined to be unintentional with no injuries reported. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to infrastructure improvements, with most permits being completed successfully, though some older permits from the late 1990s are listed as expired.

Risk rating

How 1298 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
39th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 691 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 64.1%
Moderate concern 19.2%
Severe concern 16.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
