Initial analysis

The 533-537 Greenwich Street property is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill and owned by David M. Beeman. Built in 1912, this TIC building has undergone significant renovations and infrastructure improvements over the past decade. The most substantial work occurred between 2013-2018, including the addition of bathrooms in units 533, 535, and 537, comprehensive remodeling of all units, and major systems upgrades such as the installation of a new fire sprinkler system, electrical service upgrades with 400-amp service and 7 meters, and the addition of new heating systems with multiple boilers and a storage tank. The building has experienced persistent foundation and drainage issues, requiring multiple permits for exploratory work and repairs between 2015-2018, culminating in the installation of a sump pump for the courtyard area.

Historical records from 2006 indicate the building faced several fire safety and maintenance violations, including issues with fire escape ladders, fire extinguishers, and wood stair repairs, though all of these violations were resolved by December 2006. A 2015 complaint regarding construction dust affecting neighboring properties was filed, and in 2014 there was a concern about unapproved construction changes, though both issues were subsequently closed. The property has undergone regular routine inspections over the years, with all previous violations being addressed. The most recent major improvement was the installation of drainage systems and foundation repairs in 2017-2018. The building's recent history shows consistent maintenance and upgrades to address both resident comfort and safety requirements, with no active violations or unresolved complaints as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 533-537 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.
