2069 Filbert St

Cow Hollow, SF 94123 0532025 3 units · 2 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 2069 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

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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.

15+ years since occupancy
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

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

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
38thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 534 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
