Cow Hollow, SF 94123 0941009 12 units · 3 fl · 1924

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2800 Filbert St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1924
2 or more units
12 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1924
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The 12-unit apartment building at 2800 Filbert Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Lat Corporation, is a three-story structure built in 1924 that has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over its history. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) costing $160,000, demonstrating compliance with current safety standards. Recent improvements include a comprehensive kitchen upgrade in Unit #12 in 2017, and plumbing work including the installation of new water and sewer lines in 2022-2016. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to heating systems, with multiple complaints about lack of heat recorded between 2001-2002. A series of violations in 2000 highlighted several safety concerns, including egress obstructions, fire safety issues, and problems with the central alarm system, though these were all resolved by May 2000.

The property has demonstrated ongoing maintenance and infrastructure upgrades, including a 400-amp electrical service installation in 2005, reroofing in 2002, and multiple electrical and plumbing system improvements. Recent records show some concerns with building maintenance as evidenced by 311 calls, including a rodent/insect infestation report in July 2024 and instances of garbage and debris issues during street cleaning operations. The fire safety record shows no significant incidents resulting in injuries, though there have been multiple equipment-related responses, including a cooking fire, smoke detector activations, and CO detector issues, all of which were contained and resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's recent history (2019-2024) has been relatively stable concerning major violations or structural issues, with most recent complaints relating to routine building maintenance matters rather than urgent safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 2800 Filbert 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
4thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 827 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
