Initial analysis

The property at 7020-7022 Geary Blvd is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1924, this two-story flats & duplex building has undergone several significant modifications over the years, with the most notable recent changes occurring in 2022 following a building violation complaint from late 2021. The complaint revealed unauthorized construction of two rooms and a wet bar in the garage area of the ground floor, which prompted a permit application to legalize these modifications. This project, completed in 2022 at a cost of $60,000, included the conversion of a half bathroom to a full bathroom, addition of a kitchenette, and associated electrical and plumbing work, along with the installation of smoke detectors.

The building has a history of maintenance and improvement work, including rear stairs repair and window replacements in 2002, and significant kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 1998. A notable development in 2022 was the clarification of the building's occupancy status, with the Planning Department confirming that the property is authorized as a two-family dwelling, with the ground floor's kitchenette installation being permitted under a specific Zoning Administrator Interpretation. The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking on the sidewalk, particularly during 2022-2024, though these are not directly related to the building's habitability or safety. Additionally, there were three building complaints filed in November 2021 regarding illegal residential use of the garage space, all of which were officially abated by July 2022 following the completion of the legalization work.

Risk rating

How 7020-7022 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.
