Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 307 Filbert Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by the Robert A Major Jr Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant modifications since its construction in 1966. The most substantial recent work occurred between 2012-2014, when the first-floor unit underwent a $40,000 kitchen remodeling project that included comprehensive electrical and plumbing work, along with the replacement of the building's furnace system. This renovation was properly permitted and completed, with all final inspections obtained by July 2014.

The building has experienced some notable issues over its history, particularly regarding sewer infrastructure. In 2003, multiple citations were issued for defective private sewer connections causing health and safety hazards, though these violations were officially abated by September 2008. More recently, in 2016, there were complaints about an unauthorized structure in the rear yard potentially affecting building systems, though these complaints were marked as not active. The property has also had several street maintenance issues logged through 311 calls between 2010-2021, primarily related to sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal, though these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. A notable historical note is the indication of unauthorized short-term rentals at the property since 2005, according to planning records, though this situation is recorded as "Closed - No Violation."

Risk rating

How 307 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
81th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 130 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.3%
Moderate concern 13.9%
Severe concern 24.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
