Initial analysis

The 934-944 Greenwich Street building is a three-story multi-family residential property located in Russian Hill, containing 9 units and built in 1908. The property has undergone several significant improvements, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2016 (required for Tier 3 buildings), reroofing in 2012, and a kitchen and bathroom remodel in one unit in 2012. While there were some permit-related issues during the 2016 soft-story retrofit involving electrical and plumbing work that expired, these were later resolved with a final inspection in 2018.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns in recent years. Most notably, there are current open violations from January 2025 regarding the need for fire extinguisher service, and several violations from September 2023 related to the sprinkler system and alarm maintenance, though these were abated by November 2023. Previous fire safety violations have also been documented, including issues with sprinklers (2017), fire extinguishers (2019, 2024), and alarm systems (2019). A complaint was filed in December 2017 concerning potentially unsafe construction practices involving lead paint removal, though this case is listed as not active. The building has maintained regular routine housing inspections over the years (1999-2006), which is consistent with standard oversight for multi-family residential properties.

Risk rating

How 934-944 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
6th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 1065 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

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 8.2%
Moderate concern 16.1%
Severe concern 75.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
