Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 545 Green Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Capurro Properties Series L, has undergone several significant safety system upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in late 2020 and early 2021, the building received comprehensive fire safety improvements including the installation of a new wireless fire alarm system with low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, demonstrating compliance with current fire safety regulations. The building experienced multiple fire safety-related incidents and complaints throughout 2023-2024, with several "Operating Without A Permit" violations and other fire code infractions, though all were subsequently corrected or abated.

The property has a history of building violations from March 2005, when multiple issues were identified including security violations, central alarm system problems, and plumbing concerns, all of which were resolved by August 2005. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 have predominantly related to street-level issues including garbage accumulation and blocked sidewalks, though these are external to the building itself. A nearby unauthorized bar at 565 Green Street (Del'Uva) generated multiple violations in 2024 regarding permits and safety codes, though this is a separate property from 545 Green Street. The building's fire incident records show minimal emergency responses, primarily related to alarm system issues, with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 545 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 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 520 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 size

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 43.7%
Moderate concern 31.3%
Severe concern 25.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
