Initial analysis

2102 Filbert Street is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood. Built in 1906 and currently owned by Trust B-2 Of The Residuary, this building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with Unit 2 receiving a comprehensive $30,000 remodel in 2018 that included kitchen and bathroom updates, window replacements, and electrical upgrades including a new subpanel and smoke detectors. Similarly, Apartment #3 underwent a substantial $25,000 renovation in early 2018, featuring kitchen and bathroom improvements, window replacements, and extensive electrical work including the installation of new appliances and smoke detectors. The building's electrical systems received attention in 2008 with a complete panel and meter replacement for one apartment.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most concerning recent incident being an active complaint from August 2023 regarding a vacant commercial space on the ground floor. Previous violations from 2002-2006 included smoke detector deficiencies in common areas and egress obstructions, though these were all officially abated by December 2006. A 2016 complaint regarding low stair railings was also resolved. The building's common areas have experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage and debris issues on the property and surrounding sidewalks. The most recent documented fire incidents were minor, with no civilian injuries reported. While the building has undergone significant recent improvements to individual units, the persistence of exterior maintenance issues as indicated by 311 calls suggests ongoing challenges with common area upkeep.

Risk rating

How 2102 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 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
