Initial analysis

The four-story mixed-use building at 6042-6048 Geary Boulevard, constructed in 2017, consists of three residential units and one retail space. The property underwent significant development between 2014-2017, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system ($120,290) and various safety features such as a fire alarm system and life/safety tests. Recent concerns have been raised about a blocked fire exit reported in April 2024, potentially related to a laneway unit added behind the garage, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." The building's construction included modern amenities such as radiant heating, complete plumbing systems (6 full bathrooms, 4 half bathrooms), and comprehensive electrical wiring with multiple safety features including 20 smoke detectors.

The property's maintenance record shows attention to safety systems, with fire extinguisher and alarm system issues being promptly corrected in 2019. An earlier exit obstruction violation was issued in 2005 at a different address, suggesting that historical fire safety compliance issues have generally been addressed. Recent 311 calls regarding the property (January 2025) primarily pertain to street maintenance and cleaning matters around the building's vicinity. While there have been various maintenance and service calls documented through 311, these appear to be related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 6042-6048 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.
