AI summary

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1990 Filbert Street, located in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, was built in 1960 and is owned by the Jennifer Lepage-trette Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decade, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (with a cost of $80,000) to address seismic safety requirements, and recently underwent kitchen and bathroom renovations in 2022. The building has experienced some concerning plumbing issues in recent years, with three sewage-related complaints filed in 2024, including reports of leakage in the garage and exterior walls, though these complaints are listed as "Not Active" in the system. Historical records show the building has maintained compliance with various safety requirements, including addressing previous egress obstructions and security violations back in 2008 and 2001, respectively. Routine maintenance has included roof replacement in 2013, exterior stucco repairs in 2010 and 2015, and various street space permits. Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance needs, including sidewalk issues attributed to tree roots.

The property has experienced minimal emergency incidents, with only three recorded fire department responses between 2005-2008, none of which involved actual fires or injuries. The building's improvement history shows regular attention to both structural and aesthetic maintenance, with recent work including the installation of washer/dryer units and kitchen/bathroom rehab in 2022, though there has been some speculation about unpermitted work based on a 2008 complaint regarding possible unauthorized renovations. While the building has experienced recurring sewage issues in 2024, the property has generally demonstrated compliance with building codes and safety requirements as evidenced by the completion of significant repairs and improvements, including a Ufer ground installation in 2017 and the proper handling of previous violations.

Risk rating

How 1990 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
9th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 784 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 45.3%
Moderate concern 40.0%
Severe concern 14.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
