Initial analysis

1580 Filbert Street is a 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential apartment building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Schmidt Properties LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in March 2023, fire safety upgrades were completed including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and an audible fire alarm system throughout all units. In 2015, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting at the garage/storage level, demonstrating compliance with current safety standards. The property has maintained a proactive approach to maintenance and upgrades, with multiple unit renovations completed between 2011-2012, including kitchen remodels in units 1, 6, and 12, all of which included electrical and plumbing upgrades. Historical maintenance records show attention to basic infrastructure such as window replacements in 2008 and roof work in 2012.

The building has experienced three fire-related incidents since 2018, all of which were minor with no civilian injuries reported - including one cooking fire contained to a container and two false alarms. While there was a cluster of building violations noted in 2004 related to fire safety and electrical systems, these were promptly addressed and abated by 2005. More recent fire safety inspections in 2018 and 2022 showed either corrections made or no merit to the complaints. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 1999, 2004, and 2010, all of which resulted in no ongoing violations. Outside the building itself, there have been several recent 311 calls regarding street cleaning and parking enforcement, which are typical for urban environments and not directly related to building conditions. The most recent maintenance activities, including the 2023 fire safety upgrades, suggest active management and adherence to building codes and safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 1580 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

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 689 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 32.0%
Moderate concern 39.7%
Severe concern 28.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
