Initial analysis

The duplex property at 2285-2293 Filbert Street, located in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Rudolph A & Stephanie G Hof. The building has undergone significant recent renovations, most notably in 2018 when unit 2285 received comprehensive updates including a kitchen remodel, bathroom relocation, bedroom elimination, creation of a new den, and window replacements. This renovation project, completed at a cost of $88,900, also included extensive electrical work (installation of lighting, switches, receptacles, and appliances) and plumbing updates (installation of a high-efficiency forced air heater and interior bathroom/kitchen work). The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with completed permits for concrete floor slab work in 1993, bathroom construction in 1990, and code compliance improvements in 1986.

The property experienced a cluster of building violations in October 2001 that were promptly addressed by February 2002, including issues related to fire safety, security, and building maintenance such as combustible storage, handrail repairs, door security, and garbage receptacle placement. All these violations were officially abated and there have been no subsequent building code violations recorded. Recent street-level activities near the property in 2023-2024 have primarily involved routine urban maintenance issues such as pavement defects, hazardous materials, and general cleaning needs, which are typical for the neighborhood. The most recent building-related work was completed in 2018 with the renovation of unit 2285, and there have been no recorded building safety concerns or violations in the past 21 years, suggesting good ongoing maintenance practices by the current owners.

Risk rating

How 2285-2293 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
87th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 112 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.6%
Moderate concern 11.4%
Severe concern 14.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
