Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 990 Greenwich Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Lim Family Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1974. The most recent upgrade, completed in April 2024, involved the installation of a new 125-amp electrical sub-panel and a 240V 50-amp circuit for an electric car charger. Other notable infrastructure work includes a 2010 plumbing upgrade featuring the installation of a new house trap and pipe section, and a 2002 reroofing project costing $8,800. The building has maintained compliance with housing regulations, having undergone regular routine inspections in 1999, 2004, and 2006, all of which were promptly resolved.

The property's historical records indicate some past structural issues, including a significant 1992 case where violations #27600 and #29083 required the removal of a deck and penthouse, though these permits have since expired. More recently, the building's immediate vicinity has experienced recurring street cleanliness issues, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and liquid spills between late 2023 and 2024, all of which have been resolved. A sidewalk defect was reported in December 2024 and remains open as of the current date. The building's fire safety systems appear to have been properly maintained, with a 2010 alarm system issue being corrected on the same day it was reported.

Risk rating

How 990 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.
