Initial analysis

The five-story multi-family residential building at 2527 Greenwich Street in Cow Hollow, owned by the Michael Hindus Trust, was constructed in 1908 and contains two units. The building underwent significant maintenance in 2018, with a $25,000 project to address failing siding on the backyard elevation, including updates to the vapor barrier, flashing, and application of new stucco. Earlier renovation work in 1999-2000 included seismic upgrades, window replacements, and balcony reconstruction, though several related permits from this period expired before completion. In 2004, the garage door opener installation was successfully completed, and more recently, in 2022, an electric vehicle charger was installed, indicating the building's modernization toward current standards.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly blocking the driveway, with multiple incidents reported between 2018 and 2024. Ten documented cases of driveway blockade or sidewalk parking occurred during this period, with several resulting in citations, though enforcement officers often could not locate the offending vehicles. Most recently, in December 2024, there were two complaints about driveway blocking, but officers were again unable to locate the vehicles. Additionally, a tree maintenance issue was reported and resolved by the Department of Public Works in November 2014.

Risk rating

How 2527 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
79th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 181 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 floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Building size

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.7%
Moderate concern 12.0%
Severe concern 7.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
