Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1168 Greenwich Street in Russian Hill, owned by Buck P A&Wilson K B Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1975. Most recently, in January 2023, the building received a comprehensive roof replacement costing $28,000, which included installing new modified bitumen sheets and metal flashings. In 2015, a structural termite report was completed, and in 1995, there was another roofing project undertaken. The building underwent a routine housing inspection in March 2006, which revealed several fire and safety issues that were subsequently addressed by September 2006, including repairs to garage ceiling fireproofing and the installation of required battery-operated smoke detectors at enclosed stairways.

The property has experienced some service-related incidents over the years, including a sewage backup in January 2017, water service requests in 2015-2016, and multiple defaced parking signs between 2019-2022, all of which were resolved through appropriate channels. Three routine housing inspections occurred (2000, 2003, and 2006), with the 2006 inspection being the most notable for identifying and resolving safety violations. While there was one fire-related incident involving an overheated motor, no civilian injuries were reported. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to roofing systems, structural integrity (as evidenced by termite inspections), and prompt response to safety violations when they were identified.

Risk rating

How 1168 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.

Neighborhood percentile
58th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 476 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 45.8%
Moderate concern 34.4%
Severe concern 19.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
