Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 679 Green Street in North Beach, owned by Leon Wong Co Inc, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1909. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, successfully bringing it into seismic compliance as a Tier 3 property. The building has experienced recurring fire safety and egress-related issues, particularly evident in a cluster of violations in 2008 that included problems with fire escape maintenance, ceiling fire resistance, and access obstructions, though these were all abated by May 2008. More recent concerns include a 2022 complaint regarding an unauthorized commercial sign on the fire escape, and a 2018 complaint about maintenance issues such as a rusted fridge and bug infestation.

The property has seen regular maintenance and upgrades, including roof replacement in 2003, rear building repairs in 2013, and the installation of a garage door opener in 2006. A gas houseline extension work was recorded in 2022. Historical issues have included a 1998 complaint about a poorly installed window and problematic stove, though these were addressed. The building's maintenance history shows active management response to compliance requirements, as demonstrated by completing multiple permits and addressing violations within required timeframes. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external building and street maintenance issues, such as garbage cleaning and lighting, rather than internal building conditions. The property's record suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, with most historical violations having been resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 679 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.
