Initial analysis

The 9-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2483-2485 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Kelly Patrick Bowen Living Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues since its construction in 1908. Most recently, in 2022, the property underwent a reroofing project costing $44,900 and a deck replacement/expansion for Unit 5, while also applying for a permit for the use of an ILO (intermediate length occupancy). More substantial improvements include the 2018 replacement of galvanized water pipes with copper throughout the building, and multiple renovations in Unit 1 between 2017-2019 involving bathroom water damage repairs, kitchen remodeling, and plumbing/electrical updates.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with documented violations related to fire escape maintenance and smoke detector systems in 2002-2005, though these were ultimately abated by October 2005. More recent fire safety complaints include issues with fire extinguishers (2024, condition corrected) and sprinkler systems (2019, condition corrected). A notable complaint regarding unpermitted units and lack of sprinklers was filed in November 2019, though it was marked as "No Merit." The property has also faced occasional heating system issues, as evidenced by a 2005 complaint about inadequate heat provision, and there have been multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding driveway blocking, garbage/debris, and sidewalk defects, including ongoing concerns about an overgrown tree and lifted sidewalk due to tree roots.

Risk rating

How 2483-2485 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, 603 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

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 71.9%
Moderate concern 15.2%
Severe concern 12.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
