Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1204 Green Street in Russian Hill, owned by Adam S. Ng, is a two-story flat and store structure built in 1911. The property is currently undergoing accessibility improvements, with two permits filed in September 2023 totaling $9,804 to comply with the accessible business entrance program, including door replacements and hardware modifications. This follows a pattern of accessibility-related work, as evidenced by a previous withdrawn permit from 2019 intended to address mandatory disability access requirements for both this building and a neighboring property.

The building's maintenance history includes a reroofing project completed in 2009 at a cost of $17,500, and various street space and sidewalk repair permits issued between 2006-2007, all of which were completed. A withdrawal notice for a 2006 proposal to install a micro cellular panel antenna was also recorded. The property has experienced some recent neighborhood issues, with multiple parking enforcement citations issued between February and October 2024, and several street cleaning matters being reported, including garbage and debris (resolved in August 2024), human or animal waste (September 2023), and a currently open general cleaning issue from February 2024. Tree maintenance issues have been reported in 2023 and 2024, though records show at least one was cancelled. A bicycle sharing operations complaint was filed in December 2023 and determined to be invalid.

Risk rating

How 1204 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.
