Initial analysis

The 17-unit, 4-story apartment building at 2640 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow, constructed in 1964, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple safety-related issues over the years. Most notably, recent fire safety upgrades include a 2023 installation of a new fire alarm system and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to comply with current fire code requirements, following a 2022 mandate for non-sprinklered buildings. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 4), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Multiple unit renovations have been undertaken, including comprehensive updates to Units 101 and 304 in 2019, and a proposed additional six units (four in lower-level basement and two in upper-level basement) was filed in 2021.

The property has experienced recurring fire system maintenance issues, with several fire alarm and sprinkler-related violations recorded between 2006 and 2023, including a July 2023 violation for alarm system maintenance that has since been abated. Historical inspection records from 2007-2009 show various safety concerns that were subsequently addressed, including fire escape maintenance, self-closing doors, and fire extinguisher requirements. Recent 311 calls (2023-2024) have mostly related to routine urban maintenance issues such as sidewalk blocking and graffiti, though there was one fire-related violation in 2023 regarding alarm systems. The building has a documented history of fire incidents, including false alarms and minor fires, but no civilian injuries have been reported in these events.

Risk rating

How 2640 Greenwich 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
23th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 663 are predicted to be safer.

Number of units
