Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 3-story apartment building at 656-662 Green Street in North Beach, owned by George Lung, was constructed in 1909 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair events over its history. Most notably, in March 2023, a concerning complaint was filed regarding a flooding laundry room with multiple maintenance issues including exposed wiring, broken appliances, and water intrusion problems that persisted despite being reported. The building experienced substantial fire damage in 2009-2010, leading to extensive repairs to the rear building including wall replacement, window installation, electrical system upgrades, and the addition of laundry facilities on all floors, totaling approximately $80,000 in combined renovation costs. A reroofing project completed in 2022 for $15,750 indicates ongoing maintenance efforts.

The property has a history of various code violations and building complaints, particularly regarding stairs, handrails, and general maintenance issues, though most have been resolved. A series of routine inspections have been conducted over the years, with the most recent in 2023 showing multiple issues requiring attention, including problems with walls, ceilings, windows, and electrical outlets. The building's infrastructure has seen significant upgrades, including the installation of modern laundry facilities, heating systems, and various safety improvements following the fire damage. While many historical complaints have been resolved, the most recent water intrusion issues in 2023 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as evidenced by 311 calls, though these are primarily related to street maintenance and public space concerns rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 656-662 Green 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 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 268 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.8%
Moderate concern 20.8%
Severe concern 25.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
