Initial analysis

359 Green Street is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1954, currently owned by Mayfield Group LLC. The property has undergone significant maintenance and improvements in recent years, with multiple permits issued in late 2024 focusing on roof repairs, dry rot remediation, deck repairs, and modernization efforts in Unit 5, including kitchen and bathroom remodels. Notably, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade in October 2024 to comply with city requirements, though there are recent complaints as of January 2025 regarding unlit communal areas creating safety concerns. The building previously underwent a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Historical records show a pattern of maintenance issues and safety concerns, particularly during a cluster of violations in 2009 related to various building systems and conditions, including electrical, plumbing, and deck maintenance problems. More recent history shows attention to security improvements, with entry gates installed in 2021-2022. The building has experienced multiple fire safety incidents, including carbon monoxide and gas-related events, though these were handled by emergency services with no reported injuries. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2025 primarily relate to street cleaning and parking issues near the property. A notable recent concern involves complaints about deliberately cut-off lighting in communal areas, though these cases remain in various stages of resolution as of early 2025.

Risk rating

How 359 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
4th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 657 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.

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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 10.8%
Moderate concern 79.2%
Severe concern 9.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
