Initial analysis

The property at 882-886 Geary Street is a 2-story multi-family residential building with 3 units, plus ground-floor commercial space, owned by Ace King & Queen LLC and built in 1916. The building has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades over the past decade, including comprehensive sprinkler system installation in 2017 ($39,000), conversion from retail to design office use in 2016 ($100,000), and extensive kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 2016 ($12,000). The commercial space underwent a major transformation in 2012, switching from motorcycle retail to an art gallery with structural upgrades ($245,000). During the 2016-2017 period, the property received substantial safety improvements, including the installation of new heating systems, bathroom facilities, and a sprinkler monitoring system.

Recent concerns have been primarily focused on the area surrounding the building, with numerous 311 calls in late 2024 (over 20 incidents) reporting issues like human waste, debris, and graffiti on the sidewalk. A significant building complaint was filed in July 2018 regarding sanitation issues in common areas and maintenance concerns, including broken lights and damaged entryway features, though this complaint is listed as not active. Earlier building complaints from 2010-2012 indicated unauthorized basement modifications and change-of-use violations, which appear to have been addressed through subsequent renovations and permits. The property has maintained compliance with major safety requirements, as evidenced by the proper installation of fire safety systems and the closure of fire violations from 2010.

Risk rating

How 882-886 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
81th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 85 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.

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.

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 39.4%
Moderate concern 47.1%
Severe concern 13.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
