Initial analysis

This two-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building at 7827-7829 Geary Blvd in the Outer Richmond, owned by Bessie P Wong Family Trust 200, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements since its construction in 1906. The most substantial recent work includes a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2014 (as a Tier 3 building), which involved the installation of new steel shear walls and foundation upgrades costing $40,000. The building has also received attention to its exterior and structural elements, including a cement board siding replacement in 2015 ($12,000), partial foundation repairs in 2013 ($26,000), and related electrical work.

The property faced several maintenance and safety challenges between 2012-2013, including serious mold issues documented in multiple complaints, with reports of extensive mold in various living spaces and water intrusion problems. These issues were addressed through subsequent repairs, including lead hazard remediation work and improvements to the hot water heater flue. The building's fire safety systems have required consistent attention, with a significant 2003 violation related to fire alarm systems and subsequent repairs, followed by a series of fire safety inspections in 2017 that resulted in necessary corrections to alarm systems, fire escape, and extinguishers. More recent documentation shows ongoing maintenance of the surrounding area, with multiple sanitation-related 311 calls in 2023-2024, though these primarily relate to street conditions rather than building-specific issues. The most recent major building work was completed in 2014, with no major violations or complaints recorded in the past several years, suggesting improved maintenance standards and compliance with safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 7827-7829 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 842 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Neighborhood location

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

Number of units

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 47.7%
Moderate concern 31.0%
Severe concern 21.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
