Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7021 Geary Blvd in the Outer Richmond, owned by Frederick & Christine Finse, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1990. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced some maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, in August 2023, a bathroom remodel was completed, including work on the tub area, sheetrock, vanity, and fan, with particular attention to maintaining fire ratings. In 2022, approximately 300 square feet of vinyl siding was replaced, following a September 2022 building violation that cited issues with exterior walls and waterproofing. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing aging infrastructure, including a reroofing project in 2006 costing $12,375, window and patio door replacements in 2002, redwood deck replacement in 1997, and the original installation of a fire sprinkler system in 1990.

In late 2022, the property faced multiple building violations after a complaint in September 2022, which alleged issues with bathroom ventilation, shower waterproofing, exterior walls, and suspected unpermitted plumbing work, though these violations were abated by December 2022. The building has also experienced periodic sidewalk parking violations, with multiple enforcement actions taken throughout 2022, some resulting in citations. While these issues have been addressed in various renovation projects, the property has demonstrated a need for ongoing maintenance attention, particularly in areas related to water damage prevention and ventilation systems. The most recent building permit activity, focusing on bathroom improvements, suggests continued investment in property maintenance, though the associated 2022 violations indicate past challenges with proper permitting and code compliance.

Risk rating

How 7021 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
