Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2443-2445 Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1924, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements in recent years, most notably a mandatory seismic retrofit completed in 2018 at a cost of over $70,000. The building faced compliance issues in 2014 and 2018 regarding the Soft Story Retrofit Program, resulting in violations for not submitting required permit applications and forms, though these issues were subsequently resolved through the completed retrofit work. The property has maintained its basic infrastructure with sewer and electrical system upgrades, including sewer trap replacement and pipeline work in 2021, and electrical panel improvements in 2004-2005.

Recent records show ongoing maintenance needs, with multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding overflowing city garbage cans, though these appear to be street maintenance issues rather than building deficiencies. The building's history includes some notable past violations, including illegal modifications in 1994 requiring removal of unauthorized fixtures, and a 2000 incident involving unpermitted roofing work, both of which have been resolved. The property has experienced minimal safety incidents, with only two fire-related responses recorded between 2016-2017, neither resulting in any injuries. A commercial space within the building transitioned from Tully's Coffee to Blue Bottle Coffee with proper regulatory approvals, and there was one instance of an unauthorized short-term rental that was subsequently addressed.

Risk rating

How 2443-2445 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
43th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 549 are predicted to be safer.
