Initial analysis

The property at 2420-2422 Greenwich Street is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood. The approximately 123-year-old structure has undergone significant renovations and repairs, particularly during 2008-2009, when major work was performed including rewiring of both units and common areas (complete with 200-amp service and extensive electrical upgrades), installation of two central heating systems, comprehensive plumbing work, and various structural modifications. Notable structural improvements included addressing dry rot/water damage and asbestos removal in 2008, followed by a series of permit revisions in 2009 that involved relocating doors, stairs, and fireplaces, along with bathroom and laundry room modifications. The building has experienced three documented fire alarm activations, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries.

Most recently, there has been a pattern of parking enforcement issues near the property in 2024, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking between April and October 2024. There were eight documented parking violations during this period, with at least three resulting in citations. Prior to this, in 2008, there was one significant regulatory interaction when a building permit was suspended by the Planning Department, though this was resolved by March 2009. The building's recent history shows no active building violations or complaints, and all major renovation work from the 2008-2009 period appears to have been completed successfully, with proper permits issued and inspected.

Risk rating

How 2420-2422 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

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 60 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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 88.8%
Moderate concern 7.8%
Severe concern 3.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
