Initial analysis

The 12-unit apartment building at 3759 Fillmore Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Merigan Family I L P, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1928. Most recently, in May 2023, the building received a fire alarm system upgrade to meet current safety standards, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has completed mandatory seismic retrofitting (Tier 4) and received a Certificate of Final Completion, demonstrating compliance with current structural safety requirements. Between 2013 and 2021, multiple units (1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12) underwent kitchen and/or bathroom renovations, including updates to cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and electrical systems. The building's infrastructure has also been maintained and upgraded, with records showing the installation of new heating systems, including a boiler replacement in 2017, and plumbing improvements throughout the building.

The property has had three fire-related violations in 2002-2006, all of which were resolved, including issues with fire escape maintenance and handrail repairs. A recent fire complaint regarding exit maintenance in May 2023 was promptly corrected within six days. While there have been numerous complaints about driveway blocking between 2021 and 2025, these are external parking issues not directly related to building conditions. A sidewalk defect was reported and resolved in 2023. The building's permit history and recent improvements suggest active management and maintenance of the property, with particular attention paid to safety upgrades and unit modernization.

Risk rating

How 3759 Fillmore 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
13th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 860 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 43.7%
Moderate concern 31.3%
Severe concern 25.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
