Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2530 Fillmore St, owned by Oyster Holdings LLC, has undergone significant improvements and faced various compliance issues since its construction in 1923. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program, achieving Work Complete status with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued, though there was a period of non-compliance in 2020 that required attention. Recent safety upgrades include the installation of an upscale fire alarm system with low-frequency horns in sleeping areas (completed August 2024), the addition of exit signs and emergency lighting (also August 2024), and a recent complaint in October 2024 regarding heating issues.

The building has seen substantial modernization over the years, including the addition of two ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) in 2021, installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system, complete reroofing in 2022, and extensive window replacements in multiple units between 2017-2018. Various units have received kitchen and bathroom remodels, with Units 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 10 all undergoing significant upgrades to their living spaces and utilities. The building experienced some fire safety challenges, with violations issued for fire extinguishers in 2023 and sprinklers in 2021, though these were subsequently corrected. Historical violations from 2002 regarding garage ventilation and sanitation were eventually abated, and there was a 2018 issue related to lead paint removal that was resolved. The property has maintained regular inspections and undergone various improvements to meet current safety and habitability standards, with recent concerns primarily focusing on fire safety systems and heating equipment.

Risk rating

How 2530 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
