Initial analysis

The 2703 Geary Boulevard property is a two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, built in 1906 and currently owned by Jacques N. Janot. The building underwent significant renovations in 2012, including interior and exterior upgrades to the restaurant space, accessibility improvements, and various mechanical system installations, with completed work valued at approximately $100,000. The property has required several important accessibility improvements in 2020, including front landing repairs and door replacements, though both permits remain in "Filed" status. There were documented structural concerns in 2018 regarding concrete spalling and corrosion in the basement level, and three fire safety complaints between 2017-2021 related to blocked exits and fire code violations, though most were found to have "No Merit" or were corrected. Recent activity includes multiple 311 calls in January 2025 regarding pavement defects, graffiti, and various municipal service issues, though these primarily relate to street-level conditions rather than building-specific problems.

The property has maintained its commercial space as Mo'z Cafe, with proper restaurant and ABC Type 41 licenses, though there have been some enforcement actions regarding unauthorized signs and storefront transparency violations. Significant renovation work completed in 2012 addressed various building systems including plumbing (water main replacement, gas line relocation), electrical upgrades (including installation of multiple fixtures and equipment), and structural modifications. The building's location at the intersection of Geary Boulevard and Masonic Avenue has been subject to various neighborhood issues including recent reports of garbage and debris, though these are primarily related to street conditions rather than building maintenance. Planning records indicate potential future development in the area involving the demolition of multiple buildings and construction of a mixed-use project with residential and retail components, though this appears to be focused on adjacent properties rather than 2703 Geary Boulevard itself.

Risk rating

How 2703 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.
