7301 Geary Blvd

Outer Richmond, SF 94121 1507001 6 units · 2 fl · 1956

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 7301 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 1956

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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.

Built 1956
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 property at 7301 Geary Blvd is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1956, currently owned by Kong Qing Lun & Pan Jian Yu. The building recently completed mandatory seismic retrofitting under the San Francisco Building Code, achieving Tier 3 soft-story compliance status. Recent significant improvements include electrical system upgrades in 2003 with the installation of seven circuit breaker panels and a 200-amp main switch. The building has experienced persistent water-related issues, particularly affecting Unit #5, with multiple complaints between 2006 and 2012 documenting ceiling leaks, water damage, and mold problems in various units. A notable series of violations was documented in 2003, including issues with the central alarm system, egress obstructions, fire safety concerns, and plumbing/electrical violations, all of which were abated by July 2003.

The building underwent several infrastructure improvements in the early 1990s, including stairway replacement and dry rot repairs, though some related permits expired. A 2016 attempt to add a new unit at the garage level was cancelled, and in 2018, there was a revision to the seismic retrofit work involving moment frame relocation and footing removal. The property has maintained consistent attention to fire safety, with the only recorded fire complaint in 2012 being promptly corrected. Recent months have seen numerous 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on the property, though these appear to be primarily related to exterior areas rather than building maintenance issues. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety and structural compliance, with most historical violations being addressed and resolved, though some recurring water damage issues suggest ongoing challenges with moisture management.

Risk rating

How 7301 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 811 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.
