Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2913 Fillmore Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Gallagher James E and constructed in 1902, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related events over the past few decades. Most notably, there has been a recent fire safety violation regarding the sprinkler/standpipe systems in April 2024, though this was resolved by early May 2024. The building has experienced routine housing inspections in 1996, 2001, and 2003, with the 2003 inspection revealing multiple fire safety concerns that were subsequently addressed by April 2003, including issues with fire extinguishers, egress obstruction, and gas utility shutoff requirements. Previous major work included a reroofing project completed in 2008 and underpinning work initiated in 2005.

The building has had some fire-related incidents recorded, including a contained cooking fire, a CO detector malfunction, and a false alarm, none of which resulted in civilian injuries. Recent external issues include several parking enforcement calls for blocked driveways and concerns about illegal postings in 2024, though these are not building-specific problems. The most recent permit activity was a street space permit issued in 2011, suggesting minimal recent structural modifications. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety systems, though the recent fire safety violation indicates ongoing monitoring requirements.

Risk rating

How 2913 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.

Number of units

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

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.8%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 40.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
