Outer Richmond, SF 94121 1470019 6 units · 3 fl · 1928

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 7450 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1928
2 or more units

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.

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 three-story, six-unit apartment building at 7450 Geary Boulevard in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1928, has undergone significant recent improvements to enhance safety and modernize its facilities. Most notably, in 2023-2024, the building received substantial fire safety upgrades, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and a new fire alarm system, with work continuing into 2024 for additional fire safety improvements. The building has also seen considerable unit modernization, with several apartments receiving kitchen renovations between 2008 and 2019, including Units 3 and 4 (2008), Unit 6 (2015), and a building-wide kitchen remodel (2019), encompassing new appliances, cabinets, and plumbing fixtures.

The property underwent significant structural and safety improvements in 2006, including the installation of new shear walls, moment frames, and support beams, along with exterior stucco replacement work totaling over $130,000. Historical records show the building addressed multiple fire safety violations in 2004, including issues with fire proofing, smoke enclosure doors, and fire escape maintenance, all of which were abated by May 2004. Recent maintenance includes a new 119-gallon water tank installation in early 2024, indicating ongoing commitment to infrastructure upkeep. While there have been numerous 311 calls in recent months regarding street cleaning and debris, these primarily concern the public right-of-way rather than building-specific issues. The most recent building safety upgrades and ongoing maintenance suggest a proactive approach to property management and resident safety.

Risk rating

How 7450 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
13thpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 905 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

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