Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 5746-5748 Geary Blvd, owned by Gregory J H Wang, is a two-story structure with a street-level commercial space, built in 1908 in the Central Richmond neighborhood. The building's maintenance history includes a complete re-roofing project in December 2018 costing $18,700, and several accessibility improvements in 2014 including the installation of ramp handrails, an automatic push button door opener, non-slip treatments, and barrier removal, with associated electrical work for automatic door openers, totaling $4,000 and $150 respectively. Two notable permit-related complaints were filed in recent years: in March 2022 regarding unauthorized installation of projecting signage by Beauty Network above residential window sills, and in January 2023 concerning an unpermitted awning installation, though both complaints are now marked as not active.

The property has experienced recurring street-related issues in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024, including reports of garbage and debris (such as a Christmas tree and mattress), flooding, pavement defects, and graffiti on various public structures including a parking meter and city receptacle. While these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's condition, they indicate some ongoing challenges in the immediate neighborhood. The building's documented history suggests regular attention to maintenance and compliance with accessibility requirements, though the recent complaints about unpermitted modifications indicate occasional lapses in proper permitting procedures.

Risk rating

How 5746-5748 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.
