Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2 Genoa Place in Telegraph Hill, owned by Gregory D. Schreier and Nathalie S., was constructed in 1907 and has undergone significant recent improvements, particularly related to safety systems and unit upgrades. Most notably, in 2024, the building received a comprehensive fire safety upgrade including a new fire sprinkler monitoring system (installed according to NFPA 72-2022 standards) and the relocation of water heater systems. The building also underwent substantial work to add a basement ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) between 2020-2024, including sprinkler system installation, electrical upgrades, and multiple revisions to the original plans. The property has a history of addressing safety concerns, with previous violations regarding fire escape maintenance and smoke detector systems from 2005-2007, all of which were abated by 2008.

The building's recent renovation history shows careful attention to both habitability and safety improvements, with multiple units receiving updates to electrical systems, kitchens, and bathrooms between 2006 and 2023. Recent plumbing work has involved final inspections for various unit upgrades, including a ground floor ADU remodel in 2023. The property has experienced periodic maintenance issues typical of older buildings, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, though these are primarily related to external conditions rather than building-specific problems. The last recorded building complaints date back to 2007, suggesting that current management has maintained compliance with housing codes since then. The most recent 311 calls have primarily concerned street conditions, rather than building-specific issues, indicating that recent improvements to the building's systems and infrastructure have been successful.

Risk rating

How 2 Genoa Pl'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
82th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 123 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.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.6%
Moderate concern 13.7%
Severe concern 16.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
