Initial analysis

The property at 847 Fillmore Street is a 2-story multi-family residential building with 3 units, constructed in 1890 in the Alamo Square neighborhood. Owned by David Craig Stanford 2011 F, this two-unit building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. The most recent permitted work includes the addition of a 500-square-foot roof deck, which is currently pending approval with an estimated cost of $50,000 as of August 2024. In 2024, there was an administrative permit filed to verify the building's use as two dwelling units, and there is an active investigation into potentially unauthorized unit modifications from May 2024.

The building has a history of substantial renovation work, particularly in 2005-2006, when major improvements were made to the kitchen and bathrooms, including cabinet and counter replacements, floor refinishing, and electrical upgrades costing over $143,000 in total. However, this period also saw multiple complaints about unauthorized construction, including concerns about a half-bathroom addition and kitchen modifications, as well as ventilation issues affecting neighbors' properties. Structural improvements were completed in 2007, including a brick foundation replacement and the construction of an 11-foot retaining wall at the rear property line. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to both interior and exterior spaces, including recent sidewalk repairs in 2008 and various electrical upgrades, though there have been several parking-related complaints near the property between 2018-2022.

Risk rating

How 847 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.
