Initial analysis

This three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 2175 Green Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1890 and currently owned by Courtney S. Clarkson, has undergone several significant upgrades and faced various compliance issues over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018, following two violation notices in 2017 and 2020 regarding non-compliance with earthquake safety requirements. The property has seen substantial improvements, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2013 ($95,000), a basement repair project in 2011 ($110,000), soft-story retrofit in 2018 ($9,600), and electrical system upgrades with complete rewiring of all units in 2013. Recent fire safety inspections in 2023 and 2024 noted corrections to extinguisher and alarm system issues, while earlier violations related to sprinkler systems in 2018 were also addressed.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including a new roof installed in 2005 ($43,700), sewer lateral replacement in 2013, and various plumbing updates throughout the years. Multiple violations and complaints were recorded in 2018 regarding interior surfaces, including issues with lead paint, wall repairs, and painting requirements, all of which were abated by May 2018. The property experienced periods of vacancy or perceived abandonment in 2015-2020, prompting several complaints about potential squatter activity and building condition. Recent 311 calls in 2023-2024 have primarily concerned exterior maintenance issues, including graffiti removal and environmental concerns. The building's most recent fire safety violations from 2024 and 2023 have been corrected, indicating improved attention to safety systems.

Risk rating

How 2175 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.
