1580 Filbert St

Cow Hollow, SF 94123 0522007 15 units · 3 fl · 1924

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1580 Filbert St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1924
2 or more units
15 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1924
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
20thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 689 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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 risk forecast
