AI summary

The property at 890-898 Green Street is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in Russian Hill, owned by William F. and Sabrina Braconi. Built in 1908, this TIC building has undergone several major renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. In 2004-2005, significant improvements were made including a voluntary partial seismic upgrade of the garage, garage door widening, and remodeling of multiple units totaling approximately $130,000. The building also underwent HVAC system upgrades in 2006 with the installation of energy-efficient furnaces and flues.

The property has a history of maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly regarding its soft-story retrofit status. In 2014, violations were issued for failure to submit the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program form, although these violations have since been marked as not active. Earlier issues from 2000-2003 included problems with hot water supply, rodent infestation, interior surface maintenance needs (including mold, mildew, and floor covering issues), and the requirement for gas utility shutoff tools, all of which were eventually abated. While there have been several fire department responses to the building, they were primarily for non-serious incidents such as cooking fires (confined to container), smoke detector activations, and alarm system activations, with no civilian injuries reported in any of these incidents. More recently, there have been multiple parking enforcement cases in the vicinity (2024-2025) and a tree-related property damage report that is currently open as of November 2024, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 890-898 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 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 657 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 permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings 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 43.6%
Moderate concern 15.2%
Severe concern 41.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
