Initial analysis

1267 Filbert Street is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1911, the property has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, including a comprehensive soft-story seismic retrofit completed in 2017-2019 (with structural revisions) at a cost of $99,000, and a complete fire alarm system replacement in 2023 valued at $26,508 that included new smoke detectors, pull stations, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping rooms. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues in recent years, with multiple tenant complaints filed between 2024-2025 regarding lack of heat and hot water problems. Other maintenance concerns were documented through complaints about plumbing (including a clogged toilet), electrical issues, and general building maintenance. A fire alarm-related complaint in 2022 was resolved with conditions corrected. The property owner has addressed various infrastructure needs over the years, including a gas line replacement in 2022, backflow device replacement in 2018, and repair of damaged exterior stairs in 2003. While some historical complaints from 2002 regarding lead-based paint, floor repairs, and fire extinguisher issues were resolved by 2003, more recent complaints indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response times.

Risk rating

How 1267 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, 1110 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.

Building size

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

Notices of Violation (past 7 years)

DBI issued Notices of Violation at this address over the last 7 years — a direct record of code enforcement activity.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 6.0%
Moderate concern 59.8%
Severe concern 34.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.

DBI Complaint Jun 18
Railings dip when she pulls herself up so railings are very unsafe. also talked to them about slippery stairs. but the inspector she spoke to, joy lee, told her that¿s not in the residential code so they wont enforce it. also the weather stripping that is on the door is not working so cold air is coming in. also please check carbon monoxide detector. so how can this all be taken care of by another inspector and how can this get resolved.
