Initial analysis

The Cow Hollow multi-family residential building at 2490 Greenwich Street, owned by Pezet Michael Frederic, is a three-story structure built in 1928 containing 18 units. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, particularly in fire safety systems, with two major fire system upgrades completed in 2023 ($44,329) and 2019 ($6,000), including the installation of new alarm control units, smoke detectors, and pull stations. A comprehensive roof replacement was completed in 2019 at a cost of $49,000, and the building has maintained its infrastructure with a new hot water system installation in 2012. The property has experienced three fire-related incidents over the years: a malfunctioning alarm system, a contained cooking fire, and one public service response, none of which resulted in civilian injuries. A fire alarm systems complaint in 2022 was resolved with conditions corrected by October of that year.

The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, particularly focusing on fire safety compliance. While there have been multiple routine housing inspections in 1999 and 2007, both were resolved promptly with no active concerns. The property's exterior maintenance has been addressed through various 311 calls in 2023-2025, mostly relating to street cleaning and debris issues, including some driveway blocking incidents that resulted in citations. A hazardous materials incident involving liquids was reported and resolved in May 2024. The building's historical records from the 1990s show the installation of plywood stiffeners to the interior side of perimeter walls in 1994, and various permit renewals in 1995, though specific details of these earlier modifications are less clear.

Risk rating

How 2490 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

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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.2%
Moderate concern 21.0%
Severe concern 25.7%
