Initial analysis

The 6-unit apartment building at 1021 Greenwich Street in Russian Hill, owned by Mary M. Gean, is a 3-story structure built in 1908 that has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years. Most recently, in October 2024, the building has been undergoing comprehensive electrical system improvements, including electrical panel replacements in all six apartments and common areas, with permits issued between October 2 and October 15, 2024. In 2017, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit to improve seismic safety, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake preparedness requirements. The building has a documented history of various maintenance issues and safety concerns, particularly highlighted during a significant complaint in June 2008 that resulted in multiple violations related to fire safety, lead paint hazards, and building maintenance. These violations, which included issues with fire extinguishers, exit signs, weatherproofing, and combustible storage, were all officially abated by November 2008.

More recent complaints include a December 2013 report of multiple maintenance issues in one unit (including non-functional windows, plumbing problems, and ventilation concerns) and a December 2019 complaint about doorbell installation issues, both of which were resolved. A routine inspection in 2010 and various maintenance requests have been documented through Housing Inspection Services. The building's external environment has experienced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by 311 calls regarding street cleaning, tree maintenance, parking issues, and graffiti between 2012 and 2022, which were all addressed by city services. A fire incident report indicates one false alarm with no civilian injuries, though the date is not specified in the records.

Risk rating

How 1021 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, 736 are predicted to be safer.
