Initial analysis

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 1123-1125 Kearny Street, located in Telegraph Hill and owned by the Nina Geneson Living Trust, has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1907. Most notably, in 2018 a $25,000 voluntary site drainage improvement was completed, and earlier improvements included a major electrical system upgrade in 2013 that involved installing a new 200-amp service with five meters, as well as gas line repairs in 2014. The building experienced a cluster of safety-related issues in August 2002, when multiple violations were recorded regarding staircase repairs, fire extinguisher maintenance, and smoke detector installation; however, all of these violations were promptly addressed and abated by September 2002. Since then, the building has undergone regular routine inspections in 1999 and 2007, both of which were resolved.

Recent activity around the property has included multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris in 2024, though these cases were resolved. There have been several parking enforcement requests in 2021-2022, primarily related to illegal parking in the vicinity, though most of these cases were either not located or could not be validated upon inspection. The building has experienced three fire-related incidents recorded by the fire department, including two emergency medical service calls and one false alarm, none of which resulted in civilian injuries. A planning record indicates a short-term rental (STR) status for the property was closed and abated. While there are no current active violations or complaints, the building's historical records show a pattern of prompt response to maintenance and safety issues when they arise.

Risk rating

How 1123-1125 Kearny 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
