Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 3-story apartment building at 359 Fillmore Street in Hayes Valley was constructed in 1926 and has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work over the years. Most recently, in 2023, the building received substantial safety improvements including an upgraded fire alarm system to comply with current San Francisco Fire Code requirements, installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, and the replacement of kitchen cabinets and appliances in Unit #1. The building has maintained safety as a priority, with earlier improvements including voluntary seismic strengthening in 2010 and multiple unit renovations in 2008-2009 involving bathroom remodels, kitchen upgrades, and electrical system improvements across several units.

The property has experienced some safety compliance issues, most notably a cluster of building violations in May 2023 concerning fire safety and utility systems, including concerns about the fire escape drop ladder, gas utility shutoff tool, and fire alarm system compliance. However, these violations were abated by June 2023. The building has a history of addressing fire safety concerns, with three documented fire incidents between 2006 and 113 involving equipment malfunction, though no civilian injuries were reported in these events. Historical complaints from 2005-2008 indicate past issues with construction work being performed without proper permits and maintenance concerns in individual units, but these were addressed at the time. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement issues on the street, with no recent complaints regarding building maintenance or safety.

Risk rating

How 359 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
