Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1915-1917 Fillmore Street, constructed in 1906, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years. The most recent work, filed in January 2024, involves accessibility improvements including new power door operators and ADA signage. The building has maintained its fire safety systems, with a UL300 fire suppression system installed in 2009, though there have been some fire-related compliance issues, including a 2020 operating without a permit violation that was corrected by February 2023, and a 2017 violation concerning the alarm system that was abated. The property has experienced periodic infrastructure maintenance, such as a subpanel replacement in 2019 and various plumbing upgrades including water heater and space heater replacements between 2009-2011, as well as a grease interceptor installation in 2012.

Historical records show earlier concerns in the year 2000 when multiple violations were documented, including issues with garbage areas, fire extinguisher maintenance, egress obstructions, and smoke detector requirements - all of which were abated by December 2000. The building underwent various improvements in the 1980s, including reroofing work and a significant horizontal addition permit that expired. Recent complaints from 2024 primarily concern street-level issues such as garbage and debris on the sidewalk, which has been consistently addressed by city services. The property has experienced four documented fire-related incidents since 2007, though none resulted in injuries, and included situations such as smoke detector activation, false alarms, and service calls. While there have been several maintenance issues requiring attention over the years, the current owner appears to be addressing accessibility and safety compliance matters as demonstrated by recent permits and completed violations.

Risk rating

How 1915-1917 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
27th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 489 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 45.6%
Moderate concern 26.0%
Severe concern 28.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
