Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 8137 Geary Boulevard in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1948, currently owned by Jameson Ryan and Wilson Sadie. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the years, including a $25,000 new siding installation on the rear of the building in 2014, the replacement of a house trap in 2017, and a trenchless sewer lateral pipe installation in 2010. More recently, in August 2024, there was a fire complaint regarding combustible materials, though this was resolved by December 2024.

The property has experienced periodic issues with abandoned vehicles on the street, particularly notable between 2021 and 2023, with multiple reports resulting in vehicle removals or citations. There was also one noise complaint in April 2022, though it was referred to SFPD. In July 2023, there was an open case regarding a privately maintained tree or shrub blocking the sidewalk. The building underwent a condo conversion process that was referred to the Department of Public Works with the involvement of fSirkin Law APC. While the building appears to have maintained its structural integrity through various infrastructure upgrades, the recent fire-related incident and ongoing issues with abandoned vehicles and sidewalk obstruction represent the most significant current concerns for the property.

Risk rating

How 8137 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.
