AI summary

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 565-569 Filbert Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Tsao-wu Teddy & Hung Tzu Ti, has undergone significant improvements since 2020. The 1906 structure completed a comprehensive $463,000 remodeling project in 2020 that included updates to all units' kitchens and bathrooms, conversion of bedroom to living room spaces, garage door enlargement, and window replacements. This was followed by the installation of a complete fire sprinkler system throughout the building in early 2021 at a cost of $93,600, along with upgrades to the fire alarm system to comply with safety codes, including sprinkler monitoring. The building's mechanical systems were also updated with new gas heaters for all units and a 200-amp electrical service upgrade with new panels and sub-panels.

The property has a history of routine housing inspections dating back to 2000, with the most recent significant inspection occurring in 2006, which identified issues with wood stairs and smoke enclosure door closers that were promptly resolved. There have been no active building violations or serious safety concerns reported in recent years. The only recorded fire incident was a contained cooking fire with no civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls regarding the property have primarily concerned street maintenance issues such as garbage, graffiti, and parking violations, which are typical urban neighborhood concerns and not directly related to the building's conditions or management.

Risk rating

How 565-569 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
86th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 96 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 age

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

Permit rate, owner's portfolio

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.9%
Moderate concern 13.2%
Severe concern 3.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
