Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1455 Greenwich Street in Russian Hill, owned by Edgemon Family Trust-tr A, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates over the years. Most notably, in 2021, the building completed a mandatory seismic retrofit of its soft-story structure at a cost of $134,000, which included the installation of steel moment frames and shear walls to comply with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with a 2022 complaint about inconsistent heating and manual boiler operation, following a 2010 violation regarding an unpermitted boiler operation that was promptly addressed within one day.

The building has experienced periodic fire safety system issues, with multiple inspections and complaints between 2017 and 2024 regarding its alarm systems, fire extinguishers, and sprinkler systems, though these issues were consistently resolved with "Condition Corrected" statuses. The property has also seen its share of routine inspections and some maintenance work, such as reroofing in 1996 and a street space permit in 2013. Fire department responses have included false alarms, elevator rescue, smoke removal, and one contained cooking fire, but notably no civilian injuries have been reported in these incidents. Recent external challenges include multiple reports of street cleaning issues and encampments in the vicinity between 2023 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself. A recent curb defect was reported in January 2025, which remains open as of now.

Risk rating

How 1455 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
