Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1753-1757 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Thomas Clements Lacey since 2005, was constructed in 1908 and contains 5 apartment units. The property has a documented history of deck maintenance issues, with dry rot repairs reported in 2004, 2015, and most recently in 2024, suggesting persistent structural challenges in this area. The building underwent significant interior upgrades in 2012, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, installation of new windows, and electrical improvements including a new 70-amp subpanel and various appliances. Of particular note, the building experienced multiple maintenance challenges in 2024, including an incident involving a malfunctioning refrigerator (April- July 2024) and drainage issues in the light well (May-July 2024), though both issues were eventually resolved.

Historical records show the building has undergone various maintenance work over the years, including the installation of a new roof in 1989 and 1999, and multiple electrical and plumbing updates. A variance for lot split was approved in the planning records. The property has relatively few serious complaints on record, with routine inspections occurring in 2000 and 2007, and one notable electrical complaint in 2012 regarding a complex doorbell system. Recent activity at the property includes a significant tenant buyout at 1757 Greenwich Street in July 2024, involving two tenants and totaling $71,857.50. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention is required for both structural elements and interior systems, particularly in regard to the deck areas and appliances.

Risk rating

How 1753-1757 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.
