2580-2590 Geary Blvd

Lower Pacific Heights, SF 94115 1082027 17 units · 4 fl · 1979

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1979
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The four-story multi-family residential building at 2580-2590 Geary Boulevard, owned by Guinnane Construction Co In, was constructed in 1979 and contains 17 units. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a substantial window replacement project (96 windows) and stucco renovation initiated in October 2023, with permits valued at $35,000. Most notably, there are ongoing fire safety upgrades, with a new fire alarm system installation scheduled for 2025 at a cost of $63,000, along with an electrical system modification to upgrade the fire alarm panel and associated devices issued in July 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety improvements, including a complete reroofing in 2012 and underpinning work on the driveway wall in 2001. While there have been multiple fire alarm system activations and sprinkler system inspections, none resulted in confirmed incidents or injuries, with most being attributed to system malfunctions or unintentional transmissions. The building has experienced occasional maintenance issues, including deck repairs in 1999-2000 due to rot and fire damage. Recent complaints from neighboring properties about exterior lighting (2009 and 2015) suggest ongoing concerns about light pollution from the building's exterior fixtures. The surrounding area has shown some recent urban environmental challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and abandoned items on public space near the property.

Risk rating

How 2580-2590 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
11thpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 596 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.
