Initial analysis

The 2069 Filbert Street property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, owned by the Fessel Family Trust and built in 1924. The building has undergone several significant renovations over its history, with notable improvements including two reroofing projects (completed in 1993 and 2011), a major interior reconfiguration in 1993 that involved converting two one-bedroom apartments into a single two-bedroom unit on the first floor, and various alterations related to these changes. In 1987, the building completed compliance work required by the Department of Public Health, demonstrating a commitment to maintaining safety standards.

The property's record shows minimal recent issues affecting resident safety, with a single fire safety violation in 2008 regarding an egress obstruction, which was promptly abated within one month. The building has received regular inspections, including a routine housing inspection in 1999, though no recent violations or complaints have been recorded. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of external matters, including three parking-related incidents between 2018 and 2023 (the most recent being in November 2023), and a street cleaning issue in 2019 that was determined to be on private property. A sewer-related service request was resolved by the Public Utilities Commission in October 2018, though this appears to have been a routine maintenance matter.

Risk rating

How 2069 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, 534 are predicted to be safer.
