Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 561-575 Fillmore Street in Hayes Valley, owned by William A Arietta, has a documented history since its 1904 construction that reveals several concerning patterns, particularly regarding its fire safety systems and maintenance. The building underwent reroofing in 2007 at a cost of $7,000, and has required multiple street space permits over the years. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in January 2008, including issues with the fire escape drop ladder, smoke enclosure door closers, fire alarm maintenance, and security requirements, all of which were abated by February 2008. More recently, in August 2019, a fire alarm system violation was issued and subsequently abated.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its alarm system, as evidenced by multiple false alarms and system malfunctions recorded between 2019 and earlier years, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. A routine safety inspection in December 2018 and several inspections in previous years (2000, 2008, 2011) suggest regular oversight by housing authorities. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 indicate ongoing management challenges, particularly regarding street cleaning and garbage management, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans. While these issues don't directly impact building safety, they do reflect on the property's management and maintenance of common areas. The building's documented history shows periods of both required maintenance and violation remediation, with particular attention needed to the documented fire safety system challenges, though all known violations have been officially marked as abated.

Risk rating

How 561-575 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.
