Initial analysis

1420 Green St is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by the Donna M Kilian 2010 Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work being a comprehensive renovation of Unit 4 in 2021-2022, including kitchen remodel, bathroom updates, and electrical rewiring (costing $36,000). In 2019, the building received important safety upgrades including a new wireless fire alarm system installation to meet current code requirements ($5,000). The property has also completed its required soft-story retrofit under San Francisco's seismic safety program and received a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) designation. Recent maintenance records show regular upkeep of building systems, including the replacement of water heaters in 2017 and 2019, window replacements, and various unit renovations.

The building does have a history of fire alarm system activations and some maintenance issues that have required attention, though notably, none of these incidents involved civilian injuries or actual fires. There were four false alarms related to the fire alarm system malfunctions, smoke detector errors, and one sprinkler activation - all of which were unintentional. Historical violations from 2002, including concerns about lead paint and fire escape maintenance, were all resolved by December 2002, and there have been no active housing violations in the past decade. The most recent service calls from 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as parking enforcement and sidewalk cleaning matters. A recent (September 2024) general request to the fire department remains open as of the current date.

Risk rating

How 1420 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
