Initial analysis

The property at 625-627 Fillmore St in the Alamo Square neighborhood is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Sst Investments LLC. The building has undergone significant safety and infrastructure improvements between 2010-2011, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system with monitoring capabilities ($16,500 + $2,500), electrical upgrades across all floors (new wiring, lights, switches, and receptacles), and a waterflow alarm control panel installation. These upgrades were part of a broader renovation effort that also included bathroom installations, kitchen updates, and various plumbing improvements.

The building has an active history of building violations from June 2008, primarily related to lead paint hazards and security requirements, including the need for weatherproofing on siding and installation of appropriate door viewers. These violations, which include both building and interior surfaces issues, were documented with a final warning letter in February 2009 and a director hearing in May 2009, and their current "Active" status suggests they may still require resolution. The property has undergone several routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services between 2000-2019, with the most recent being in May 2019, though the outcomes of these inspections are not specified in the available records. Additionally, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property and its immediate vicinity in 2023-2024, primarily related to parking enforcement issues and occasional graffiti removal requests, which appear to have been addressed appropriately.

Risk rating

How 625-627 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
65th percentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 107 are predicted to be safer.

Building age

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