Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1247-1251 Filbert Street in Russian Hill, owned by Dina M Oreilly, was constructed in 1909 and consists of three stories. The property's maintenance record shows relatively minimal activity in recent years, with the most recent significant work being a bathroom tile replacement on the second floor in 2015, costing $3,500. A historical roof replacement was completed in 1991. The building experienced notable safety and compliance issues in 2002, when multiple violations were recorded in a single month, including problems with fire safety (missing fire extinguisher tags), stair repairs, smoke detector installations, and gas meter instructions, though all of these violations were abated by October 21, 2002. Three routine housing inspections were conducted in 2002, 2008, and 2011, with only the 2011 inspection being marked as "Not Active"; the 2008 inspection was resolved on the same day it was filed.

Recent activity on the property is limited, with only two 311 calls recorded in the last several years: a public works service request in May 2020 and a hazardous materials report regarding glass on the street in January 2018, both of which were resolved. The last known tenant buyout information is for 1249 Filbert Street, but no specific date or details are provided in the records. The building's historical data shows a pattern of compliance with housing regulations since the significant violations were addressed in 2002, with no major safety or maintenance issues reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1247-1251 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.
