Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1695 Filbert St in Cow Hollow, owned by Jeannie Mason Living Trust, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014, upgrading e-walls to shear walls at a cost of $86,000, achieving Tier 2 compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. Recent maintenance includes plumbing updates in 2018 with the replacement of various fixtures, including bathtub faucets and sinks, and window upgrades in 2006 where all 153 windows were replaced with energy-efficient vinyl single-hung double-pane units.

The building has experienced recurring boiler permit issues, with recent violations noted in April 2023 for two separate boiler units (serial numbers A87-70 and 770 P J82 28102), though these were subsequently resolved by May 2023. Historical building complaints from 2000 documented several violations that were promptly addressed, including heating system deficiencies and egress obstructions. Recent maintenance and repair history shows regular attention to building upkeep, including a 2011 reroofing project costing $41,000, though the building has experienced occasional fire safety concerns as evidenced by a February 2023 electrical systems complaint and earlier violations related to fire extinguishers and alarm systems, all of which were marked as "Condition Corrected" upon resolution. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues near the property, including parking violations and debris management, suggesting attention to these exterior concerns by city services.

Risk rating

How 1695 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
13th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 749 are predicted to be safer.
