Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 7201 Geary Blvd in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Yut Gay Wong Survivor's Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements since its construction in 1958. Most notably, the building has recently received a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in December 2024, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and a new fire panel to meet current safety codes, following earlier fire-related violations that were resolved in January 2004. The building has successfully completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Other major improvements include window replacement (2003), kitchen remodeling (2003), and reroofing (2001).

The building has experienced multiple fire alarm system malfunctions and false alarms over the years, with documented incidents between 2019 and 2023 showing system irregularities, though no civilian injuries were reported in any of these events. The property underwent a routine housing inspection in 1999 and 2003, with the latter revealing several fire safety issues including problems with the alarm system, fire extinguishers, and combustible storage, all of which were subsequently resolved. Recent external maintenance records show regular attention to building upkeep, including the handling of garbage and debris issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024, though these primarily relate to street cleaning rather than building conditions. The building's compliance with both fire safety and seismic retrofit requirements suggests ongoing attention to key safety regulations, with the last significant building permit relating to fire safety being processed in December 2024.

Risk rating

How 7201 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
8th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 957 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 47.8%
Moderate concern 35.4%
Severe concern 16.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
