Initial analysis

The 8-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1956 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Anibal A & Margaret J Davil, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related updates since its construction in 1913. Most notably, in 2021-2022, fire safety inspections identified issues with fire extinguishers and alarm systems, both of which were subsequently corrected by July 2022. The building has seen various structural improvements in recent years, including a gas line installation/replacement completed in May 2023, reroofing work completed in 2012 at a cost of $6,800, and stucco replacement on the building's front facade in late 2012 to address deteriorating conditions.

Historical records from 1992 indicate the building underwent a comprehensive termite inspection covering multiple sections, though no recent pest-related issues have been reported. The property has had routine housing inspections in 1995, 1999, and 2008, all of which were marked as resolved on the same day they were filed. While there was a sewage backup incident in January 2013 that required city intervention, it was promptly addressed and resolved. The building's recent maintenance history shows attention to both structural integrity and safety systems, with no recurring patterns of significant issues. Street-level incidents reported through 311 calls have primarily been related to general cleaning and one abandoned vehicle report in 2022, which were all resolved through normal city service channels.

Risk rating

How 1956 Greenwich 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
8th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 792 are predicted to be safer.
