Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2627 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow was constructed in 1926 and is currently owned by the Jerry P. & Lidia P. Smith Trust. The building's maintenance record shows two historical permit activities from the late 1990s: installation of vinyl windows (permit #9901045) and a reroofing project (permit #9808962), both of which are now expired. In recent years, the building has experienced several notable incidents, though none appear to have directly impacted resident safety. These include three fire-related events, consisting of a cooking fire contained to a container, a false alarm, and an elevator rescue, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The property has generated multiple 311 calls over the past decade, with the most recent being a resolved garbage and debris complaint in September 2024. Other reported issues include a 2022 water leak case that was found to be invalid, a noise complaint about mechanical equipment (2019) that couldn't be located, and various parking-related incidents. The building's infrastructure has required attention to street lighting, with two separate burnt-out light reports in late 2016 and early 2017, both of which were subsequently resolved by PG&E. While there have been several service requests and complaints regarding the surrounding areas, including garbage collection, encampments, and parking issues, these primarily relate to the neighborhood rather than the property itself and have generally been addressed promptly by the responsible agencies.

Risk rating

How 2627 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
74th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 224 are predicted to be safer.
