AI summary

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 7601 Geary Blvd, owned by the Wayman Family Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since being constructed in 1958. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $40,000, bringing it into compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property experienced multiple violations in the early 2000s (all resolved by April 2002) including issues with stairs, windows, and fire safety systems, though these were addressed promptly. More recent maintenance work includes exterior painting-related complaints in 2024, a fire alarm system correction in April 2024, and documented termite and dry rot repairs, window replacements, and roof work dating back to the 1990s and 1980s. The building's history shows a pattern of addressing structural and safety issues as they arise, with most historical violations having been properly abated.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external maintenance and compliance matters. The most recent building-related issue was a fire alarm system correction completed in April 2024, though there was also a complaint filed in June 2024 regarding unsafe exterior painting practices. The building's management has generally demonstrated responsiveness to maintenance needs, as evidenced by the regular issuance and completion of necessary building permits over the years. The structure achieved its Tier 3 soft-story retrofit compliance, significantly improving its seismic safety profile. Recent 311 calls relating to the property (2023-2025) have mainly concerned street and sidewalk maintenance matters, which appear to be promptly addressed by city services.

Risk rating

How 7601 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
9th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 946 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.

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.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 45.5%
Moderate concern 38.0%
Severe concern 16.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
