Initial analysis

The 31-unit apartment building at 3216-3240 Geary Blvd, owned by Gene & Angela Lam 2003 Mari, was constructed in 1964 as a three-story multi-family residential property and has undergone numerous significant improvements and faced several challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2024, the building has seen substantial electrical upgrades, including the replacement of interior house panels and apartment subpanels, along with re-roofing work completed at a cost of $58,280. The property has focused on accessibility improvements, with the installation of an exterior lift in 2023 under the Accessible Business Entrance program, though earlier attempts to implement this feature had to be revised or withdrawn.

The building's history reveals attention to safety updates, particularly in 2021, when low-frequency sounders were installed in compliance with fire safety regulations, and the fire alarm control panel was replaced. Recent complaints from 2023-2024 have primarily centered around the on-site Prik Hom restaurant, with issues reported regarding unauthorized fan installation, noise, and ventilation concerns that required multiple permits and emergency repairs to resolve. The building has completed its soft-story retrofit requirements under Tier 2, achieving compliance with current seismic safety standards. Historical violations from 2001, including egress obstructions and fire extinguisher issues, were addressed and closed. Various plumbing improvements have been made over the years, including water heater and boiler replacements, and the building's infrastructure has received ongoing maintenance attention through regular permit applications.

Risk rating

How 3210-3240 Geary Blvd'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.
