Initial analysis

701 Greenwich Street is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by the Archdiocese of San Francisco & School of the Holy Name. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent being water heater replacement in May 2024 and wall furnace replacement in February 2023. Past renovations include a substantial kitchen and bathroom update in 2009 ($10,500), plumbing modifications in 2004 ($14,000) for a hair salon, and various electrical upgrades including washer/dryer facilities installation in 2003.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues that required attention. In March 2005, a routine inspection revealed multiple concerns including problems with stairs, emergency exits, pressure release pipes, and the need for smoke detectors, though these were all abated by May 2005. In July 2009, plumbing issues in the lightwell were reported and subsequently resolved. The property has maintained active upkeep with various systems being regularly updated, though there have been some historical compliance issues such as an expired reroofing permit from 1996 and several cancelled or withdrawn permits from the late 1980s related to garage modifications and daycare facilities. Recent activity in 2024 has shown continued maintenance response with multiple garbage and debris clearances in the vicinity, though these primarily relate to street cleaning rather than building-specific issues. The building's only recorded fire incident involved water-related problems with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 701 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
37th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 228 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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 47.9%
Moderate concern 36.7%
Severe concern 15.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
