Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2527 Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant renovations and faced some notable compliance issues over its history. Most recently, in 2022, there was an important infrastructure update involving the relocation of the roof drain on the rear northwest side of the property, which had previously been improperly connected to the neighboring building's drainage system. This followed a similar drainage-related complaint from July 2022, which connected to water damage concerns at the adjacent property. The building has seen substantial improvements over the past decade, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovation in 2014 (in Unit B), which involved new cabinets, countertops, appliances, and electrical work totaling $30,000.

Historical records show some concerning events that have since been resolved, including unauthorized construction of a rear deck in 2001 that affected the neighboring property, and a 2021 complaint regarding exterior stair safety that was quickly addressed. Earlier renovations include a complete reroofing project in 2006 and various improvements dating back to the 1990s, including kitchen remodeling and electrical upgrades. The property has seen recurring issues with garbage and debris management recently, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding overflowing city garbage cans, though these appear to be external to the building itself and relate to city infrastructure. The building's ownership, currently held by Ladd Family Trust, and its two-story flat/duplex configuration are typical of the Pacific Heights neighborhood's character, which features a mix of historic and modern residential buildings.

Risk rating

How 2527 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
33th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 645 are predicted to be safer.
