Initial analysis

The property at 2142-2144 Filbert Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Cow Hollow neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by Keith K Jew and Pamela Y Jang, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past few decades. The most notable recent work was completed in 2012, including a comprehensive kitchen remodel in the unit featuring new cabinets, countertops, flooring, and updated electrical and plumbing systems, with a reported cost of $19,000. This followed earlier electrical upgrades in 2007 and 2005, when new meters and separate circuits were installed. The building has a history of addressing compliance issues, with a notable bathroom remodel on the ground floor completed in 2004 (valued at $10,000) to resolve a complaint from that year.

The property has experienced several routine inspections and compliance matters, including fire safety violations in 2001 and 2006 related to fire escape maintenance, which were subsequently resolved. Earlier issues included termite repairs in 1987 and a compliance-related project in 1984. Recent activity around the property has been recorded in the form of multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways, with at least one resulting in a citation (most recently in 2023). There have also been several reports of abandoned furniture and debris on the street, with the most recent incidents occurring in October 2024. The only recorded fire-related incident was a false alarm, with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 2142-2144 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
66th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 293 are predicted to be safer.
