Initial analysis

The property at 1877-1881 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow consists of three residential units across two structures, with a front building containing two units and a rear cottage unit, totaling three units as currently classified. Built in 1900 and owned by Justin G. Yee, the multi-family residential building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance over the years, with the most recent work completed in September 2023 involving bathroom updates including shower retiling and valve replacement. The property has seen major infrastructure improvements in 2010, including the replacement of a gas furnace, front stairs repairs due to dry rot, and comprehensive electrical upgrades including the installation of a new 200-amp service with multiple meters to serve all residential units and common areas. The building has also received substantial interior improvements, with multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels documented between 2009-2010, along with plumbing updates including the installation of a tankless water heater and new lines for various appliances.

Recent records from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance issues in the vicinity of the property, including reports of abandoned vehicles, parking violations, and tree maintenance requests, though these do not directly reflect on the building's condition. The property has been subject to a few regulatory matters, including a closed case regarding illegal short-term rentals. The extensive permit history demonstrates regular maintenance and upgrading of building systems, with particular attention to safety features such as GFCI installation and updating of bathroom facilities. The building's documented improvements suggest proactive property management, though the presence of multiple expired permits from 2009-2010 indicates some work may not have been completed as originally planned. The structure's age and extensive renovation history are typical for San Francisco properties of this vintage, with the majority of significant work focused on system updates and modernizing living spaces while maintaining historical character.

Risk rating

How 1877-1881 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, 594 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

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 60.5%
Moderate concern 21.7%
Severe concern 17.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
