Initial analysis

The property at 2860-2862 Greenwich Street is a four-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, completed in 2017 under the ownership of Ryan Petersen. The building underwent significant renovations between 2014-2017, including a major facade alteration with a 9-foot vertical addition, horizontal expansion, and comprehensive interior remodeling that added bedrooms and bathrooms to both units at a cost of approximately $1.4 million. During the renovation period, the building received extensive safety improvements, including the installation of a complete NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system with 84 sprinklers ($36,000), a new sprinkler monitoring system ($2,500), and other safety features such as an elevator ($40,000) and battery backup system ($5,000).

The renovation project faced some scrutiny, with three separate building complaints filed between 2016-2020. These included concerns about potentially unauthorized conversion to a single-family home status in 2018, a report of non-essential construction during a work order period in 2020, and a complaint regarding construction-generated exhaust fumes affecting neighboring units in 2016. The building's systems were extensively upgraded during the renovation, including plumbing work that involved complete replumbing of both units (four bathrooms and two kitchens), installation of a high-efficiency radiant heat system, and various electrical improvements including a new 200-amp service. While there were several 311 calls regarding the property's vicinity between 2015-2024, these were primarily related to street maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns. The property's planning records show proper documentation and review of the major renovation work, with all permits ultimately being completed successfully.

Risk rating

How 2860-2862 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.
