Initial analysis

The 16-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1325 Green Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Tam Family Trust and constructed in 1907, has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 (at a cost of $60,000) to improve seismic safety, and has recently upgraded its fire alarm system to comply with current fire code requirements in 2024, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple complaints between 2016-2021 regarding leaks, water damage, and mold concerns, particularly affecting Unit 303 with documented flooding incidents in October 2021. These water issues appear to be a persistent problem, with multiple violations in 2016 related to leaks and water damage.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing safety violations, particularly related to fire safety systems, with completed corrections for several fire violations issued between 2015-2023. These include violations for alarm system maintenance, sprinkler service, and sleeping area requirements. In 2021, there was one notable complaint regarding unauthorized work and water damage in Unit 303, which led to a permit correction violation. The building has also experienced various maintenance and safety compliance issues over the years, including security violations, rodent infestation, and lighting concerns, though most of these historical violations from 2010-2016 appear to have been resolved. Recent inspections indicate an active compliance approach to building safety requirements, with no current active violations on record, though there was a recent sleeping area requirement violation issued in November 2023 that needs attention.

Risk rating

How 1325 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.
