Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2436 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Realty Equities Inc, has undergone significant recent upgrades and modifications since 2022. The most substantial change was the successful addition of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) on the ground floor in early 2022, followed by comprehensive safety enhancements including a new fire sprinkler system and associated safety equipment completed in 2023. The property has received extensive interior modernization, with 2022 renovations covering all four units including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and the installation of new heating systems with split-system heat pumps. Two building complaints were filed in 2022 regarding construction noise before the permitted start time, though these issues were promptly addressed and resolved within days.

Other notable improvements include front facade maintenance with stucco replacement completed in 2023, and infrastructure upgrades such as a 400-amp electrical service upgrade and bathroom and laundry facility improvements. The building's historical maintenance record shows consistent attention to major systems, including roofing work performed in 2018 and previous projects from 1993. The property has experienced minimal issues, with only three 311 calls related to parking enforcement and street cleaning between 2019 and 2023. A routine housing inspection from 2000 was marked as not active, indicating no significant concerns were recorded at that time.

Risk rating

How 2436 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
