Initial analysis

The 9-unit apartment building at 6600 Geary Blvd in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Walton & Linda Yip 2004 Fml, was built in 1975 and has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes plumbing upgrades in 2018 featuring bathtub and faucet replacements, and the installation of a new roof in 2015 costing $20,800. However, the building has a history of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire-related violations and complaints between 2018-2024, including issues with exit maintenance, electrical systems, fire escape maintenance, and fire extinguishers, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected" upon re-inspection.

The property has experienced some significant maintenance issues in the past, including a termite and dry rot repair project in 2006 costing $8,000, and a notable cluster of fire safety violations in 2003 that required the installation of additional smoke detectors, fire escape repairs, and fire extinguisher maintenance, though these were all abated by May 2003. Recent concerns include multiple reports of garbage and debris, with seven Recology calls in late 2024 regarding overflowing city garbage cans. Planning records indicate the building is a three-story structure containing three two-bedroom and six one-bedroom units. The most recent fire-related complaint in May 2024 regarding exit maintenance was resolved within 22 days, suggesting timely attention to safety issues despite the recurring nature of such complaints.

Risk rating

How 6600 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 39.2%
Moderate concern 39.9%
Severe concern 20.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
