Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 814-820 Fillmore St in the Alamo Square neighborhood, owned by the Harlan A See Trust, was built in 1900 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety events over the years. Most recently, in December 2022, the building received a complete reroofing at a cost of $16,400. The property has a documented history of safety inspections, with routine checks conducted in 1998, 2000, 2007, 2010, and 2018, indicating ongoing oversight of building conditions. A cluster of violations was documented in November 2007, including issues with lead paint, water damage, damaged ceilings and walls, and concerns about stairs and handrails, though all these violations were officially abated by February 2008.

The building has experienced several fire safety concerns, with complaints about blocked exits (2021), alarm systems (2019), and sprinkler/standpipe systems (2016), all of which were corrected promptly. There have been three fire-related incidents on record: a contained trash fire, a building fire with intentional ignition (date unspecified), and a carbon monoxide incident, though notably, no civilian injuries were reported in any of these events. Recent challenges have emerged regarding waste management, with multiple 311 calls between December 2024 and January 2025 regarding overflowing city garbage cans, suggesting ongoing issues with waste disposal in the vicinity. The most recent complaint history suggests these volume of garbage incidents has decreased somewhat, with the most recent call in January 2025.

Risk rating

How 814-820 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

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 134 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 age

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

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.7%
Moderate concern 21.0%
Severe concern 10.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
