AI summary

The 9-unit multi-family residential building at 2020-2022 Green Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Hui Ted Yin-tat, has undergone significant recent improvements and faced several notable challenges. Most recently, in 2023, the building received a complete reroofing ($48,750) and was involved in fire safety inspections resulting in violations for emergency lighting and alarm system maintenance, which have since been abated. A major recent project was the addition of a new unit in the basement (Unit 10) completed in 2024, including associated plumbing and electrical work, though this expansion was initially permitted in 2020 with a cost of $121,897. The building successfully completed its Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2018, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The property has a history of maintenance and safety concerns that have been addressed over time. Notable issues included multiple fire safety violations between 2015 and 2024 regarding blocked exits, sprinkler systems, and alarm systems, though most have been corrected. In January 2021, there were two significant reports of raw sewage problems near the trash area and laundry room in the basement, which raised health concerns. The building experienced window maintenance issues in 2017 and historical plumbing problems dating back to 1999 involving exposed sewer connections. A tenant buyout occurred on October 17, 2022, involving two tenants for $55,000. The property has undergone regular routine inspections, with the most recent building permit activity focusing on systematic upgrades and maintenance rather than addressing urgent violations, indicating a shift towards preventive maintenance rather than reactive responses to issues.

Risk rating

How 2020-2022 Green 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
13th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 749 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.0%
Moderate concern 20.8%
Severe concern 20.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
