Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 864-874 Greenwich Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood is a 6-unit property constructed in 1909, currently owned by Lili J & Isaac F Silvera. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably a completed kitchen and bathroom remodel in June 2023 (costing $50,000) that included electrical work and plumbing updates. In 2015, the building completed a mandatory seismic retrofit of its soft-story structure (costing $55,000), achieving CFC compliance. The property has experienced periodic maintenance and upgrading over the years, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2015, structural termite work, and various plumbing and electrical improvements.

Historical records show some concerning issues in the building's past, including a 2009 plumbing problem with leaking vent pipes that affected neighboring property, and a series of violations in 2006 related to wood post repair, smoke detectors, and other maintenance matters, though all were resolved by early 2010. The building's fire safety record includes three complaints in September 2018 regarding blocked exits, combustible materials, and hoarding, all of which were found to have no merit by October 2018. The property has maintained active upkeep, as evidenced by multiple recent service requests for street cleaning and waste removal between 2020 and 2024, though these are more related to external maintenance than internal building conditions. A tenant buyout was recorded at the property in March 2023 involving 2 tenants for $9,150.

Risk rating

How 864-874 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
45th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 623 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 age

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 46.5%
Moderate concern 17.7%
Severe concern 35.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
