Initial analysis

The Wong Family Trust owns this three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located at 2851 Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights, which was constructed in 1900. The building's maintenance record shows several significant infrastructure updates, including a completed sewer line replacement in November 2018 and a sound level verification inspection in sleeping areas initiated in June 2023. A notable incident occurred in September 2023 when residents expressed concerns about potential foundation impacts following a nearby water main rupture at Fillmore and Union, though this complaint is currently marked as "Not Active."

The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 1997 and 2004, both of which were completed without any documented violations. The building's recent history shows recurring street cleaning issues in 2023 and 2024, with multiple reports of loose garbage and debris, though all these cases were resolved by city services. There was also a non-offensive graffiti incident reported in June 2023, a CO detector activation due to malfunction (date unspecified), and a mechanical issue involving the PUC that was resolved in November 2023 with communication to a resident. While the building has had several maintenance events and external neighborhood issues documented through 311 calls, there is no recorded history of internal safety incidents or serious code violations that would affect resident experience or safety.

Risk rating

How 2851 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.
