AI summary

The property at 3139 Geary Blvd is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently containing three units, along with commercial space, and is owned by 3139-3141 Geary Blvd LLC. The building has undergone various significant modifications over the decades, most notably in 1989 when ground and second floors were altered for commercial use, and a residential-to-office conversion proposal was submitted to retain the third-floor unit without providing parking. Two major infrastructure repairs were completed in recent years: a main water line repair in 2022 and a sewer repair in 2011, indicating ongoing maintenance of essential systems. A concerning set of building complaints was filed in 1994, citing multiple issues including plumbing problems, wall cracks, peeling paint, door repairs, pest infestations, and safety concerns regarding fire exits and window locks, though these issues were marked as not active since November 1994. The property's maintenance history shows attention to basic needs with a reroofing project completed in 2001, though the permit has since expired.

The surrounding area has experienced various maintenance and safety concerns as documented through 311 calls, with the most recent being a pavement defect reported in January 2024. Other notable incidents include multiple instances of graffiti (2020, 2017), damaged parking meters (2016, 2020), and street cleaning issues (2020). While these external issues don't directly impact the building's structure, they do reflect the general neighborhood environment. The building's recent maintenance record, particularly the water line repair in 2022 and sewer repair in 2011, suggests active management of critical infrastructure, though the age of the building (101 years old as of 2023) indicates ongoing maintenance requirements are likely necessary.

Risk rating

How 3139 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 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 436 are predicted to be safer.
