Initial analysis

The property at 1715 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by the Rose Hong Family Trust. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with major renovations completed in 2022 that included comprehensive updates to both units (1715 and 1717) involving kitchen, bathroom, living room, and laundry room remodels, plus the addition of new full baths and shower pans. These improvements were accompanied by electrical rewiring and new lighting installations, with Unit 1715 receiving a complete rewiring and new subpanel setup, and Unit 1717 undergoing similar electrical updates. Prior to this, in 2020, the building had its gas water heater replaced, and in 2003, there was a service upgrade to 125 amps. Historical records show earlier attention to building maintenance, including dry rot repairs completed in 1991.

The building's recent history (2021-2024) includes several service requests and incidents in the surrounding area, though none appear to directly affect the building's condition or safety. These external incidents included parking enforcement requests, a noise complaint regarding amplified sound, and occasional street cleanliness issues, all of which were addressed through normal city services. There was also one environmental health service request in 2021, which was transferred to the appropriate department, though the specific nature and outcome of this request are not detailed in the records. A fire incident involving an unintentional alarm transmission was recorded, but no civilian injuries or property damage were reported. The property's comprehensive recent renovations and utility upgrades suggest proactive maintenance by the current ownership, though prospective tenants should note the building's age and the expected wear associated with older properties.

Risk rating

How 1715 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.
