Initial analysis

The 17-unit, three-story apartment building at 733-735 Fillmore Street in Alamo Square, owned by Patricia L Meade, was constructed in 1914 and has undergone several significant modifications, most notably its 2019 conversion of an abandoned commercial space into a residential unit and laundry facilities, which included seismic soft-story upgrades costing $95,000. The building achieved compliance with the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit program (Tier 4) and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) in September 2019, after previously being cited for failing to file the required permit application in November 2018. Recent building improvements include sheetrock installation in 2022 and fire safety maintenance, with a sprinkler violation issued and subsequently abated in September 2023.

The property has a history of addressing safety and maintenance concerns, with multiple fire safety violations in 2008-2009 related to alarm systems and extinguishers, all of which were corrected. Historical violations from 2006 included issues with window sashes, fire escape maintenance, stairs, water heaters, and sanitation, though all were abated by September 2019. The building underwent various inspections over the years, with the most recent fire safety inspection noting sprinkler system maintenance requirements in 2023. Two tenant buyouts were recorded, in 2016 ($35,000) and 2022 ($5,500). The building has also required several plumbing and electrical upgrades, including sewer line work in 2007, common area electrical system improvements in 2019, and various plumbing modifications, including laundry facility installations, between 2007 and 2021.

Risk rating

How 733-735 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, 229 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 28.3%
Moderate concern 36.9%
Severe concern 34.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
