Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 969-973 Greenwich St in Russian Hill, owned by Gary K & Pearl Eng Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1907 and contains three units. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing project in 2016 costing $7,000, installation of aluminum windows in 1989 (with a prior permit from 1985 having expired), and various street space permits in 2014. A notable incident occurred in February 2023 when residents reported late-night construction work by PG&E involving power tools and industrial lights until 10:40 PM, which generated significant noise disturbance affecting residents' ability to sleep.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and safety elements, though there was a cluster of violations in January 2006 related to wood stairs and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were abated by March 14, 2006. Regular routine inspections have been conducted over the years (1999, 2003, and 2006), all of which were resolved and closed. The property's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance and improvements, with the most recent significant event being the reported construction disturbance in early 2023.

Risk rating

How 969-973 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
34th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 748 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 38.8%
Moderate concern 24.7%
Severe concern 36.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
