Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 915-919 Greenwich Street in Russian Hill, owned by Roger G N & Minnie K Chin T, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several notable maintenance and compliance events over its history. The most significant maintenance issues occurred in 2004, when multiple violations were filed regarding stair repairs that necessitated a building permit, leading to completed work valued at $3,800 to repair and paint the rear staircase. More recently, there have been minor street space-related permits issued in 2016-2017, each with a nominal cost of $1.00.

The property has been the subject of periodic inspections and routine maintenance checks, with a documented complaint in 2019 regarding a potential business operating from one of the residential units. Several 311 calls in recent years (2019-2022) have typically related to street cleaning and maintenance issues in the vicinity of the building, including garbage problems and sidewalk blockages, though these are more indicative of neighborhood conditions rather than specific building issues. The most recent building-related activities have been related to external cleaning and maintenance rather than structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 915-919 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, 872 are predicted to be safer.
