AI summary

The 5-unit residential building at 962-968 Greenwich St in Russian Hill is a 3-story flats structure built in 1965, currently owned by 962-970 Greenwich Street Ll. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance requirements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $60,000, which brought the building into compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. Other major work included interior repairs to unit #862 in 2010 involving wall studs and sheetrock, reroofing in 2006, and reverting the building from seven to five units in 2002 as mandated by enforcement action.

The building has had its share of violations and complaints, with a notable cluster of issues documented in 2003, including problems with stairs, sanitation (including rodent infestation), fire safety, and gas meter requirements – all of which were abated by December 2003. A 2006 routine inspection identified security and electrical issues that were also resolved. More recently, there was a noise complaint regarding construction work in 2020, which was eventually closed in January 2022. The property has maintained compliance with various building codes since then, but has experienced typical urban residential issues such as sidewalk cleaning, waste management, and street lighting concerns, all of which have been addressed by appropriate city departments and utility providers. The building's most recent significant structural work, the soft-story retrofit, was completed under Tier 3 classification with a Certificate of Final Completion issued, demonstrating the property's commitment to seismic safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 962-968 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.
