Initial analysis

The three-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 2828 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Lindsay Blake & Andrew Hill, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance since its construction in 1960. Most recently, in November 2023, Unit 5 received a bathroom remodel including tile replacement and fixture upgrades, along with electrical work for a new GFI plug. The building has seen consistent modernization efforts, particularly in Units 2 and 5, with extensive soundproofing, lighting enhancements (including LED recessed can lights), and bathroom improvements documented between 2011 and 2023. Major infrastructure upgrades include a comprehensive repiping of all eight units' kitchens, baths, and laundry facilities in 2007, installation of a PV system in 2008, and a car charging station in 2016.

The property has maintained good compliance with housing regulations, with routine inspections in 1997, 1998, and 2007 showing no apparent violations, though there was one fire safety complaint regarding blocked exits in 2017 that was promptly corrected. Recent maintenance issues have been largely limited to routine matters such as tree pruning and occasional parking violations, with the most significant recent incident being a sewer issue reported in March 2022, which was resolved. The building's permit history suggests proactive management, with regular updates and improvements being made to maintain and enhance resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 2828 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

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 629 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Number of units

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 46.0%
Moderate concern 33.9%
Severe concern 20.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
