Initial analysis

The three-story, multi-family residential building at 3231 Fillmore St, owned by Boussina Perry & Jane Trust, has undergone significant changes and faced numerous challenges since its construction in 1900. The property, which contains 3 units, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly in recent years. Most notably, in 2024, the building faced multiple serious violations including heating system failures, electrical problems, rodent infestations, and security concerns. Recent complaints from September to December 2024 highlighted issues with inadequate heat, broken entrance doors, and improper bathroom access for disabled individuals. The building has also faced several permit compliance issues, with violations issued in 2023 regarding structural and safety matters, including problems with the fire escape system.

The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a completed reroofing project in 2019 and significant interior upgrades in 2017 that improved fire and sound safety. However, there have been multiple instances of work being performed without proper permits, most recently documented in 2024 regarding heating system installations. The building's infrastructure has received attention, with sewer line replacements completed in 2015, though some plumbing permits were canceled during processing. A serious electrical violation from 2014 required correction of multiple safety issues, and there have been recurring concerns about unauthorized signage and commercial operations.

Risk rating

How 3231 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.
