Initial analysis

The 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 980 Green Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Andrew G Iwach Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant safety upgrades and improvements since its construction in 1954. Most recently, in 2023, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade to meet current San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to comply with SFFD Bulletin standards. The building is classified as a Tier 3 soft-story structure and has successfully completed the required seismic retrofit work under the San Francisco Wood Frame Seismic Retrofit Program, achieving Certificate of Final Completion status as of 2017. Previous major improvements include the replacement of termite-damaged materials in 1998, various exterior enhancements in 2000-2002 including new fencing and security gates, and the attempted replacement of a fire escape with a new exit stair in 2004 (though this application was ultimately cancelled).

Regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services have occurred in 2000, 2003, and 2006, with all noted violations being abated, including fire escape maintenance issues in 2006. The building has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking in the vicinity, documented through multiple 311 calls between 2022-2024, often involving driveway blockages, though these are not directly related to building conditions. A recent sidewalk defect was reported and resolved in October 2023, involving a damaged utility vault cover. While there were earlier proposals for significant modifications including an entry bridge replacement and elevator improvements, these were either withdrawn or closed without proceeding to construction. The property appears to have maintained compliance with major safety requirements, particularly regarding fire safety and seismic retrofitting, though the historical records show various maintenance and upgrading efforts typical for a building of its age and type.

Risk rating

How 980 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, 827 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 age

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

Building size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 46.2%
Moderate concern 30.6%
Severe concern 23.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
