Initial analysis

The property at 2739-2741 Geary Boulevard is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by RM Development LLC. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably in 2021-2022, when a comprehensive fire safety upgrade was implemented including the installation of a new fire alarm system and fire sprinkler monitoring system costing over $64,000. The building is currently undergoing changes to increase its density, with permits filed in 2021 for the conversion of partial 2nd floor space to accommodate an accessory dwelling unit, and a larger proposal (202103106226) for vertical and horizontal additions to create a total of 7 units, though this last application is currently "Filed" status. Other substantial improvements completed in 2021 include structural soft-story retrofit work (costing $30,000) for seismic safety, along with extensive unit remodeling including four bathroom renovations, two kitchen remodels, and comprehensive plumbing and electrical upgrades.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with recent work including furnace installations for units 2739 and 2741 (2021), and various unit renovations (2019-2021). Two building complaints were filed regarding unauthorized work in 2019 and 2022, though these cases are now listed as "Not Active." The property has experienced typical urban issues as evidenced by recent 311 calls between 2024-2025, primarily related to common area concerns such as lighting, heat issues, and street-related matters. Several fire alarm incidents were recorded, but none resulted in civilian injuries, and a fire complaint regarding blocked exits from 2012 was found to have "No Merit." The building is also subject to zoning considerations, with a closed Variance request regarding off-street parking and rear yard issues from 2019, and an approved change of occupancy to accommodate a new dwelling unit including greenhouse replacement.

Risk rating

How 2739-2741 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.
