Initial analysis

The Lalanne Family Living Trust owns this two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building located at 2163-2165 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, which was constructed in 1908. The building underwent significant changes in 2012 when the first floor was converted from a dental office to a daycare center, requiring comprehensive fire safety upgrades including the installation of a complete fire sprinkler system ($51,914) and a new fire alarm system ($6,000). During this renovation period, there were some compliance issues noted, with a violation filed in May 2012 regarding unauthorized construction work related to the removal of rear stairs and additional ground floor modifications. The building received a complete renovation of both units in 2020, including new kitchen cabinets, bath vanities, and plumbing fixtures, though this work initially triggered a complaint in April 2020 regarding construction without proper permits during COVID-19 restrictions, which was subsequently resolved by December 2020.

The property has a history of electrical and safety concerns, particularly in early 2017 when multiple complaints were filed regarding potential electrical hazards, including reports of strange smells and possible voltage overload at the power box. These issues were addressed through subsequent electrical work in July 2012 that included comprehensive rewiring and the installation of emergency lights. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic upkeep, with roofing work documented in 2000, 2002, 2016, and 2020, and the installation of new electrical fixtures and heating elements in 2020. Recent complaints from 2024 indicate ongoing issues with parking violations in the area, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety systems.

Risk rating

How 2163-2165 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
