AI summary

The Bankovitch Family Trust owns this three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 2856-2858 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow, built in 1923. The property underwent significant renovations between 2016-2018, including a comprehensive $329,000 remodel of multiple floors, installation of new windows and doors, and updates to the basement drainage system. In 2017, the building received substantial infrastructure upgrades, including a new 200-amp 3-meter electrical service, complete rewiring, plumbing improvements, and boiler installations for radiant heat. A series of violations were issued in 2019 related to safety concerns, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing fixtures, and various appliances, though these were all abated by July 2020. The building experienced a major service interruption in December 2016 involving lack of water, heat, and gas, and there was one minor fire-related complaint about blocked exits in October 2017, which was determined to have no merit.

The property has ongoing maintenance activities as evidenced by multiple street space permits and construction revisions, with the most recent being in 2018. A tenant buyout occurred in March 2020 for $100,000 involving one tenant. More recent concerns have primarily been external to the building, including several parking enforcement issues related to driveway blocking between 2019-2020 and some urban maintenance issues noted through 311 calls. Planning records indicate proper adherence to historical preservation requirements during renovations, including replacement of windows with wood double French casement windows and balcony modifications. The property's infrastructure and safety systems appear to have been brought up to current standards as a result of the 2019 violations, with no active violations or complaints on record since July 2020.

Risk rating

How 2856-2858 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.7%
Moderate concern 17.6%
Severe concern 10.8%
