Initial analysis

The 16-unit apartment complex at 2560-2570 Geary Blvd, owned by Guinnane Construction Co Inc and built in 1979, has a documented history of fire safety system upgrades and maintenance, with recent work including a $40,000 fire alarm system upgrade scheduled for 2025 and window replacements in 2024. The building has experienced several fire safety issues over the years, with multiple alarm system and exit blocking complaints requiring correction, most recently in 2023 for both sprinkler systems and alarm systems, indicating ongoing attention to fire safety infrastructure. In 2015, there were several complaints regarding newly installed exterior lighting affecting neighboring properties, suggesting some historical concerns about light pollution and unauthorized modifications to building systems.

The property has maintained an active maintenance schedule for critical systems, as evidenced by the recent electrical and building permits, including an upgrade to the fire alarm system and window replacements. Historical records show the building has undergone various improvements and modifications since its construction, including the installation of various awnings in 2001 and multiple fire system updates in the early 2000s. The building's location has experienced typical urban residential issues as evidenced by 311 calls, including reports of graffiti, encampments, and sidewalk maintenance needs, though these are not unusual for a San Francisco property of this age and size. The property's fire safety systems have required regular attention, with fire department inspections noting various issues over the years that were subsequently corrected, though a violation was issued in 2007 regarding locked exit doors that has since been resolved.

Risk rating

How 2560-2570 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 563 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.5%
Moderate concern 38.3%
Severe concern 17.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
