Initial analysis

The four-story multi-family residential building at 985-991 Greenwich Street, constructed in 1908, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with the most recent notable work being multiple unsuccessful attempts to add new bathrooms and remodel kitchens between 2018-2020, though some renovation work was successfully completed during this period. A major project was undertaken in 2019 to convert the first floor from a garage and storage space into an ADU with modern amenities including a new NFPA 13-R sprinkler system, though there have been subsequent permit withdrawals and modifications regarding this work. The building underwent substantial electrical upgrades in 2018-2019, including a full apartment rewire, installation of new panelboards, and comprehensive circuitry improvements for two units, alongside significant plumbing work including sewer lateral replacement and water main upgrades in 2021.

Historically, the building faced several violations in 2003 related to fire safety, including issues with fire proofing, fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors, though all these violations were abated by May 2003. The property has seen consistent maintenance and improvement work, including a complete reroofing in 2018 and various utility upgrades. Recent activity has shown recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, with multiple misdemeanor citations issued between 2023-2024, indicating possible accessibility concerns for residents. Notably, there was one tenant buyout recorded in February 2017 for $102,053 at 987 Greenwich Street, though information for other units is not available in the records. The most recent building-related issues reported through 311 calls are primarily related to street parking concerns and include reports of garbage and debris, with the most recent complaint being from January 2025.

Risk rating

How 985-991 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

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 657 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.2%
Moderate concern 15.7%
Severe concern 35.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
