Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1870-1874 Green Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Lee Ben & Susan 89 Family Trust, has a history dating back to 1900. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including dry rot repairs to the side and rear stairs in 2016, kitchen renovations on the third floor in 2014 (including cabinet replacement and plumbing and electrical work), and a complete reroofing in 1995. In the mid-2000s, the building faced multiple safety violations that were addressed and resolved, including issues with stairs, egress obstructions, combustible storage, fire sprinklers, and self-closing doors - all of which were abated by April 2002. More recent concerns include a potentially problematic tree root situation impacting the sidewalk, reported in April 2023, and recurring issues with vehicles blocking the driveway, with multiple citations issued throughout 2023-2024.

The most recent routine safety inspection occurred in 2016, and while there have been numerous 311 calls related to the property, including several regarding driveway access and sidewalk cleaning, most were resolved without indicating ongoing problems. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to structural issues, particularly regarding stairs and water damage, with repairs typically executed in-kind and within reasonable cost parameters. The property's historical compliance efforts are notable, particularly the 1985 initiative to bring the building into full compliance with requirements. Currently, there are no active violations or complaints on record, though the 2023 tree root issue remains open as of February 2023.

Risk rating

How 1870-1874 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

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 370 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.

Building age

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.2%
Moderate concern 19.0%
Severe concern 18.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
