Initial analysis

The 90-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 940-950 Fillmore Street, owned by Friendship Village Inc and constructed in 1971, has had a number of significant safety and maintenance issues over the years. Most recently, in 2023, the building received violations related to sleeping area requirements and sprinkler system maintenance, though both have since been abated. The property has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, including multiple extinguisher violations (most recently in March 2024, now corrected), a 2020 violation for missing sprinkler service, and a 2023 violation for sleeping area requirements. Historical issues include several building violations from 2007-2009 related to water damage, floor coverings, and cabinet repairs, all of which were eventually resolved.

The building has undergone some infrastructure upgrades, including the replacement of apartment #A's furnace in 2018 and various security improvements in the 1990s, such as the installation of window security guards and replacement of metal gates. Routine safety inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent complaints showing a pattern of maintenance and fire safety issues being the primary concerns. A notable recent tenant complaint from October 2024 involved concerns about the management of the waiting list for apartment assignments. While there have been some historical interior maintenance issues and a few fire incidents (primarily non-injurious), the building has generally met abatement requirements for violations and completed necessary repairs as documented in the building permits and violation records.

Risk rating

How 940-950 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
