Initial analysis

The 39-unit apartment building at 665 Geary St, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by the Roger & Terry L Kleid Revocable Trust, has undergone significant maintenance and upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building received substantial work including exterior concrete spalling repairs ($56,250) and comprehensive renovations in Apartment 405 involving mold remediation and kitchen/bathroom remodeling ($55,000). The property has seen consistent unit improvements over the past decade, with multiple apartments receiving updates including Unit 506's high-efficiency fixtures (2015), Units 202 and 403's kitchen renovations (2017-2018), and various building-wide safety upgrades such as the installation of low-frequency sounders throughout sleeping areas in 2021 to comply with fire code requirements.

Recent complaints in 2024 have raised concerns about elevator functionality, with multiple reports of doors being difficult to operate and some not closing properly, though these issues are not currently active. There were also recurring concerns about building sounds in 2024, including a high-pitched noise from the rooftop HVAC system and elevator-related sounds. The building has experienced periodic maintenance violations in the past, including a 2023 mold issue, though these have generally been resolved. Historical records show the building has had various fire safety inspections, with most violations being promptly corrected, particularly in 2021 when the fire alarm system was upgraded. The property underwent significant infrastructure improvements with the replacement of both the steam boiler and domestic hot water boiler systems in 2022-2024, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of essential building systems.

Risk rating

How 665 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.
