Central Richmond, SF 94121 1459033 14 units · 3 fl · 1963

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 6324 Geary Blvd rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1963
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The 14-unit multi-family residential building at 6324 Geary Boulevard, owned by Mercy Housing Corporation, is a 3-story structure built in 1963 that has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016-2019 (Tier 2) with associated permits totaling over $130,000, including structural revisions and compliance with San Francisco building codes. The property has experienced multiple water damage incidents, most recently in 2019 affecting kitchens on the 2nd and 3rd floors, resulting in substantial repair work ($87,694) and plumbing modifications. The building has maintained compliance with fire safety requirements, having installed sprinklers and water flow devices in 2008, though there have been periodic fire system-related complaints and violations including those regarding exit maintenance, sprinkler systems, and alarm systems between 2018-2024, with most issues being resolved promptly.

The property underwent significant improvements to address safety and accessibility concerns, including the installation of grab bars in 2014-2017 to comply with building codes. Historical records indicate various maintenance issues were addressed, such as window repairs (2012), window leak prevention measures (2007), and water heater replacement (2015). The building has experienced routine fire safety inspections revealing mostly minor violations, with records showing prompt corrective actions being taken in most cases. Recent history (2022-2024) shows minimal internal building issues, with most recent 311 calls relating to external matters such as encampments, graffiti, and noise, rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent fire safety complaints from 2024 and 2023 relate to exit maintenance and sprinkler systems, indicating ongoing monitoring of fire safety systems, though many of these complaints are resolved as "Condition Corrected" or marked as having "No Merit."

Risk rating

How 6324 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
2ndpercentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2205 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
