Initial analysis

Greenwich Garden Apartments, a 5-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940, has undergone significant recent safety upgrades and faced several maintenance challenges. Most notably, in 2024, the building initiated a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current safety codes, including the installation of low frequency sounders in sleeping areas and new pull stations at exits, with an investment totaling over $29,000. This followed a series of building violations identified in early 2024, including concerns about weather proofing, lead paint hazards, and various structural issues with walls, ceilings, windows, and the fire escape ladder, though these violations were officially abated by April 2024.

The building has experienced notable maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly with water intrusion issues as documented in a January 2024 complaint regarding 3rd floor leaks affecting carpet and electrical access. Historical records show various structural improvements were made in the early 1990s, including entry rebuilding and modifications to the fire escape frame. Three false fire alarms were recorded in the building's incident history, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues such as parking and sidewalk maintenance. The property has undergone routine housing inspections throughout its history, with the most recent one taking place in early 2024. While the building has faced multiple violations and repair needs, recent permit activity suggests proactive management in addressing safety requirements and building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1120-1128 Greenwich 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.
