Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1183-1185 Filbert Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by Jonathan Jay & Tiff Flesher. The building's maintenance history shows several significant repairs and improvements over the past three decades, with particular attention to addressing structural issues. Notable past work includes foundation replacement in 1997, back stair repairs due to dry rot and fungus in 2001, kitchen renovations in 1989 and 1991, and a roof replacement in 1996 (though this permit expired). More recent improvements include a sewer/housetrap replacement completed in March 2018, along with street space and sidewalk repairs that same month.

The property has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years, with notable concern being a pattern of garbage and debris issues reported in mid-2024. There is currently an open noise complaint from October 2024, and the building management has dealt with various parking-related issues in the vicinity, including illegal parking incidents and blocked driveways. The rent board has been contacted multiple times in late 2024, with cases being resolved through communication about the exemption application process and other related inquiries. A single false fire alarm incident was recorded with no civilian injuries. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of essential systems, including electrical work in 2003 for kitchen and bathroom circuits and plumbing upgrades in 2018, though some permits from earlier years have expired.

Risk rating

How 1183-1185 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.
