Initial analysis

The property at 989-993 Filbert Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Yung Living Trust. The building has undergone extensive renovations over the past several years, with significant work occurring between 2022-2024. Recent improvements include major remodeling projects with costs totaling over $300,000, focusing on bedroom and bathroom reconfigurations, kitchen relocations, hydronic heating installation, and electrical upgrades. The most recent permit, issued in October 2024, indicates ongoing modifications to both first and second-floor layouts, following substantial work begun in 2023 that included bedroom conversions and new plumbing installations. Historical records show previous improvements from 2022 involved comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovations, with associated plumbing and electrical work being properly completed.

The building has experienced some issues requiring attention over the years, including multiple parking enforcement calls for vehicles blocking driveways between 2021-2024, and one sewage backup incident in April 2022. A routine inspection in 2005 identified various safety concerns related to stairs, smoke detectors, and emergency exits, though these violations were resolved within two months. While there was a complaint in January 2022 regarding unpermitted remodeling work, this was addressed by early February of the same year. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since then, with all recent permits showing proper approval and completion status. The building's systems have received regular updates, including electrical panel replacements and hydronic heating system installations, with no recent fire incidents reported, aside from a historical gas leak situation with no civilian injuries noted.

Risk rating

How 989-993 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.
