Initial analysis

The 5-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building at 2740 Greenwich Street, owned by Mulberry Tree LP, was constructed in 1965 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $180,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building has experienced recurring fire safety system issues, with three violations recorded between 2018-2023 related to sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and emergency lighting, though most of these have been corrected or abated. In 2018, the building received multiple fire safety violations requiring attention to emergency lighting, address numbers, sprinkler system maintenance, and alarm system maintenance.

The property has a history of maintenance and improvement work, including reroofing projects in 2001 and 2007 (costs of $13,760 and $49,409 respectively), installation of vinyl windows in 2002, deck coating work, and plumbing upgrades including a new copper cold water service line in 2008. In 2001-2002, the building experienced several violations that were subsequently addressed, including issues with damaged ceilings, walls, and fire egress obstruction. More recent maintenance issues have been relatively minor, primarily involving exterior matters such as graffiti removal and utility service matters, as well as periodic inspections by housing authorities. The building's maintenance history suggests an ongoing pattern of addressing both routine upkeep and regulatory compliance requirements, though the frequency of fire safety system violations in recent years indicates a somewhat persistent challenge in this area.

Risk rating

How 2740 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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.
