Augrented Insights

Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 632-642 Greenwich Street, built in 1909 and containing 7 units, has undergone several significant maintenance events over the past few decades. Most recently, in 2023, the building faced multiple maintenance issues including problems with stairs, water penetration, damaged walls/ceilings, and a malfunctioning fan, which were all addressed through a housing inspection. The property has documented recurring plumbing issues, with broken sewage line replacements completed in both July and October 2020. Electrical and safety concerns were noted in 2018, including malfunctioning outlets and various safety compliance requirements, which were abated by December 2018.

Historical records show some structural maintenance work, including wood stair replacement in 2003 and multiple window installations between 1983 and 1991. The building has experienced several plumbing and water-related issues over the years, with documented sewage problems in 2004, 2015, 2020, and 2020. A fire safety inspection in 2016 noted blocked exits, though this was ultimately determined to have no merit. The most recent significant maintenance work involved addressing water damage and ventilation issues in 2023, while other routine inspections have been conducted periodically throughout the building's history. An illegal short-term rental complaint was filed and closed regarding 638 Greenwich Street in 2016, though it's unclear if this directly relates to the subject property. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to plumbing and safety systems, with most issues being addressed within reasonable timeframes.

Risk rating

How 632-642 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

13th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 315 are predicted to be safer.
