Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 785-787 Green Street in North Beach, owned by Harry K. and Lucy S.Y. Fong Trusts, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1927. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, particularly in 2024, with substantial work performed on unit 787 including interior remodeling, electrical rewiring, and plumbing updates such as a new shower pan installation. Prior to this, in 2021, unit 787 received kitchen and bathroom improvements, though some permits from this period eventually expired. The building has also maintained basic infrastructure, including a reroofing project completed in 2012.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleaning, with multiple 311 calls between 2019 and 2023 reporting loose garbage and abandoned items on the street or sidewalk, primarily serviced by DPW and Recology. While these were external cleanliness issues rather than building-specific concerns, they represent a pattern of waste management challenges in the immediate vicinity. Two tenant buyouts are on record, with one completed in July 2021 for unit 785 in the amount of $10,000. Fire department responses to the building have been minimal and non-serious, consisting of three incidents: two invalid assist calls and one false alarm, none resulting in civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 785-787 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
92th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 29 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 87.7%
Moderate concern 9.4%
Severe concern 2.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
