Initial analysis

The property at 455-459 Fillmore Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building with 4 units, constructed in 1885 and currently owned by Ann C Coulter. The building has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the years, including emergency work to remove a charred south wall and subsequent repairs in 1986, closet repairs and water line upgrades in 1986, code compliance work in 1987, and stair repairs in 1995. A notable cluster of violations was recorded in December 2004, primarily related to fire safety and maintenance issues, including problems with fire extinguishers, fire proofing, lead hazards, and interior surfaces. These violations were addressed and abated by May 2005.

Recent history of the building shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic period, with multiple instances of graffiti reported between 2020-2024, and some parking enforcement issues. The most recent complaints through the 311 system and regular maintenance inspections suggest that while the building has been maintaining basic compliance, there have been recurring issues with exterior maintenance and parking around the property. The building's age and history of repairs indicate ongoing maintenance requirements, though most historical violations have been addressed through normal correction processes. The property has been subject to routine apartment inspections over the years, with varying degrees of needed corrections, particularly during the early 2000s when multiple interior and safety issues were identified.

Risk rating

How 455-459 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.
