Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 2943-2947 Fillmore Street in Cow Hollow was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by Louise M. Purtill. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent being a complete sewer and house trap replacement performed in October 2023. Previous maintenance work includes dry rot repairs near the garage and side doors in 2003, which cost $2,000, and an attempted reroofing project in the same year valued at $14,800, though this permit eventually expired. The building has been subject to routine housing inspections in both 2001 and 2010, with no active violations noted.

The exterior of the property and its immediate surroundings have experienced typical urban issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2024. These include street lighting maintenance (resolved in October 2024), graffiti removal (April 2022), street cleaning efforts (October 2021), and a number of reports regarding abandoned vehicles in early 2020, though all these vehicle-related complaints were resolved either by the vehicles being gone upon inspection or being determined as having no merit. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of critical systems, with the most recent major infrastructure work being the 2023 sewer replacement, suggesting ongoing attention to the property's essential services.

Risk rating

How 2943-2947 Fillmore 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
44th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 482 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.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.5%
Moderate concern 21.5%
Severe concern 23.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
