Cow Hollow, SF 94123 0520036 7 units · 3 fl · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1741-1751 Greenwich St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The property at 1741-1751 Greenwich Street is a three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Darin Richards-brown Revocable Trust. The building has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Category 4 - Complete, CFC Issued) at a cost of $115,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Substantial interior upgrades have been implemented, including a comprehensive electrical system overhaul in 2013 (installation of new sub-panels, lights, switches, and outlets), plumbing improvements, window replacements, and unit remodels between 2012-2013, with documented costs exceeding $250,000. The building experienced several violations in 2003 and 2008 related to security, fire safety, building maintenance, and plumbing/electrical issues, though all were resolved by August 2008.

Recent history shows active tenant buyouts occurring in October 2020, with two units at 1751 Greenwich Street and three units at 1741 Greenwich Street receiving $25,000 each in relocation assistance. The building's maintenance record is generally positive, with routine inspections and repairs being documented through 2023, including roof replacement (2015), various unit upgrades, and multiple street space permits. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to urban street issues (parking, graffiti, and waste), rather than building-specific concerns, suggesting generally stable building conditions. A single fire incident was recorded, but it was limited to a malfunctioning smoke detector with no injuries reported. The property's historical records include an application for condominium conversion, though the status is marked as "None fNone" with no developer listed.

Risk rating

How 1741-1751 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
37thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 542 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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 age

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.
