Initial analysis

The property at 7115 Geary Blvd is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Ken Yong and Susan Lee Fong R. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most significant occurring between September 2023 and January 2024, when multiple building violations were documented and subsequently abated. These violations included deficiencies in fire safety equipment (such as missing fire extinguishers and uncharged fire extinguishers), the need for smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms in required areas, window repairs, lighting issues, and the presence of mold. A notable complaint from September 2023 highlighted serious concerns about the unit's condition, including problems with windows, mold, electrical systems, and fire safety equipment, as well as concerns about an allegedly illegal unit in the garage area.

Earlier violations from 2010 had addressed fire safety system requirements, including fire extinguisher placement, central fire alarm system maintenance, and fire escape operation, though these issues were marked as routine and closed. A 1993 permit was issued for occupancy separation between the garage area and dwelling. The building has undergone several routine apartment housing inspections over the years (2007, 1998, and others), with varying results, though more recent inspections have revealed multiple safety and maintenance concerns. While 311 calls related to the property have primarily concerned street cleaning and graffiti issues between 2010 and 2021, the most recent building violations indicate significant ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges that required official intervention and correction.

Risk rating

How 7115 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.

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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 38.8%
Moderate concern 33.7%
Severe concern 27.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
