Initial analysis

The Geary-Hyde Apartments, a 26-unit, four-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1916, is currently undergoing significant fire safety improvements, with a fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2024 costing $58,600, including the addition of heat detectors and horn strobes in critical areas. The building has experienced several notable incidents requiring attention to safety and maintenance, including a serious incident in 2021 when a section of the marble facade fell, striking a pedestrian, and subsequent repairs were made to address this safety concern. Historical records show recurring fire safety violations, including a recent December 2023 violation related to sleeping area requirements, though many earlier issues have been resolved, such as problems with emergency lighting and exit signs in 2019.

Maintenance and infrastructure upgrades have been a focus in recent years, with substantial work completed, including a 2019 reroofing project costing $9,500 and telecommunications equipment upgrades. The building has faced some administrative and compliance challenges, including issues with vacant commercial storefront monitoring in early 2023 and multiple expired permits noted in 2009. While historical complaints from 2003 documented various fire safety concerns and emergency exit issues, these were resolved within two months. More recent concerns have primarily involved routine maintenance and compliance matters, with the most pressing current focus being the ongoing enhancements to the building's fire safety systems. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 have mostly related to street cleaning and debris issues in the vicinity of the building, rather than direct building maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 800-810 Geary 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
41th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 264 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 11.4%
Moderate concern 58.9%
Severe concern 29.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
