Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 6939 Geary Boulevard in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1958, currently owned by the Gary Daniel Kwan Living Trust. The property has undergone significant improvements over recent years, with the most recent work completed in October 2023 involving a window material change from aluminum to fiberglass in the front of the building. Earlier renovations included a substantial $25,000 project in 2022 to remove a structural wall and replace windows, and a comprehensive $105,000 remodel in 2021 that addressed all three units' kitchens and bathrooms, along with electrical rewiring and fixture replacement.

The building experienced some code compliance issues in 2011, when violations were recorded regarding fire extinguisher requirements, though these were promptly abated within one month. The plumbing systems have also received attention, with a major renovation of water supply and waste systems in multiple units in 2022-2024, though the original permit expired and required renewal. While there have been several 311 calls regarding street cleaning and parking violations in the vicinity, these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The property has been subject to various planning reviews, including a historic resource assessment, and has completed necessary revisions to window specifications as part of its ongoing maintenance and improvement program.

Risk rating

How 6939 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

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
