Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2251-2253 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Patricia E Henle Sep Prpt T, was constructed in 1903 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. Most recently, in 2019, there was a completed window replacement project on the main floor front facade, though this work generated a building complaint regarding unauthorized modifications of window style and color. In 2018, substantial bathroom renovations were completed including new fixtures, lighting, and plumbing, with associated electrical work and plumbing permits properly filed and completed. The building has received consistent maintenance attention, including a major electrical service upgrade in 2012 with the installation of new subpanels and metering, and multiple roofing projects were completed in 1989, 2002, and 2019. The property has also experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, particularly relating to blocked driveways and sidewalk parking, with multiple 311 calls logged between 2022 and 2024, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. A noted electrical correction notice from 2012 was addressed in 2013, along with corresponding drywall work in the basement storage area.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, with most recent work focused on cosmetic and functional upgrades rather than structural changes. The property has maintained compliance with permit requirements for most work performed, with the exception of the 2019 window replacement that prompted a building complaint. The recurring parking enforcement issues primarily involve vehicles unrelated to the building's residents, as indicated by the variety of vehicle types and license plates involved in the complaints. While these parking issues occur in the building's vicinity, they are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 2251-2253 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
71th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 250 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 size

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.9%
Moderate concern 10.3%
Severe concern 27.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
