Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 978-982 Greenwich Street, located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1908, currently owned by the Suk Ling Fong 1990 Revocable Trust. The property's maintenance and safety record shows some notable historical issues, particularly a series of violations identified during a housing inspection on January 5, 2006, which included concerns about wooden stairs and posts on the north side, fire extinguisher maintenance, and smoke detector functionality. These violations were all addressed and officially abated by March 8, 2006. The building has undergone some significant maintenance work, including reroofing in 2009 at a cost of $7,500, with a more recent street space permit issued in 2015 costing $1.

The property's recent history (2019 to present) shows minimal issues directly related to the building's condition or safety systems. The most recent incidents associated with the location have been minor and unrelated to the building's structure or systems, such as street cleaning matters (a Christmas tree removal in January 2024 and general cleaning in October 2008) and a parking dispute outside the property in September 2020, which could not be validated by responding officers. The regular housing inspections conducted in 1999, 2003, and 2006 do not appear to have revealed any persistent or unresolved issues, as all cases are marked as closed.

Risk rating

How 978-982 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

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 566 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 19.1%
Severe concern 31.8%
