Initial analysis

The property at 1111-1133 Green Street is a three-story, 11-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1909 in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, currently owned by the John E Wai 1981 Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, including a comprehensive interior remodel of all units in 2013-2014 that involved converting various living spaces into bedrooms and adding new closets throughout. Major systems upgrades were completed in 2011, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system, new bathrooms, furnaces, water heaters, and a complete electrical rewire. Recent concerns have centered primarily around water-related issues, with multiple tenant complaints in 2024 regarding mold, window leaks, and plumbing problems. A historic compliance issue involves a roof deck on the west side of the building (Unit 1123) that has been the subject of several permits and violations between 2019 and 2023, indicating ongoing concerns about safety features and maintenance. The building has experienced periodic fire alarm system activations, though none have resulted in injuries or significant damage, and recent fire violations regarding sleeping area requirements have been issued as of November 2023. This property has maintained its residential character while undergoing significant modernization, though recent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems.

Risk rating

How 1111-1133 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.
