Initial analysis

The three-story, 25-unit multi-family residential building at 1845 Green Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Rajnikant T. and Helen A. Desai, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1966. Most recently, in 2024, the building received a new roof (cost: $140,600) and replacement of its hot water boiler system, indicating ongoing maintenance of critical building infrastructure. In 2023, the building began modifying its fire alarm system to comply with SFFC-2016 requirements by installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, though a related violation regarding sleeping area requirements was issued in November 2023 and remains open. The building has a history of addressing safety concerns, as demonstrated by completed projects such as the 2017 structural strengthening of the garage podium, 2003 window and door replacements, and the 2003 electrical work connecting to street underground wiring.

The property has experienced several safety inspections and violations, particularly in 2000, 2016, and 2008, focusing on smoke detection systems, emergency lighting, and security features, all of which were subsequently addressed. A notable recent incident occurred in late 2023 with a sleeping area violation that is currently open. The building's fire safety systems have received attention, with a violation corrected in 2022 regarding fire extinguishers. While there have been multiple fire-related service calls to the address (mostly false alarms and public service calls), none resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure, including a 2017 garage podium reinforcement project and various system upgrades, though some recent routine safety measures (such as the sleep area sounder installation) appear to have been implemented inconsistently based on current violations. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as documented in 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and occasional parking violations, though these are external to the building itself and have been consistently resolved.

Risk rating

How 1845 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.
