Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 6835 Geary Blvd, owned by John T & Mei Mee Cheung, was constructed in 1949 in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, including a completed 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2013 and a reroofing project in 1996, though the latter permit has since expired. In October 2001, the property received multiple housing code violations related to safety and security, including the need for smoke detectors at stairways and self-closing devices at exterior doors; however, these violations were promptly addressed and abated within three weeks.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to necessary infrastructure upgrades, particularly in 2013 with the substantial electrical service improvement. The property's recent history shows relatively few internal issues noted in housing inspections. However, the surrounding area has experienced recurring graffiti and defacement issues on public signage between 2018-2019, though these were all resolved by the Department of Public Works. There were also several reports of loose garbage requiring clean-up in 2014-2016, a sidewalk defect case from 2014 involving approximately 9 square feet of damaged/uneven sidewalk, and one report of an abandoned vehicle in 2013, all of which were resolved by the appropriate city agencies. While the building itself has maintained compliance with safety requirements since 2001, the surrounding area has experienced periodic maintenance needs related to public infrastructure and street cleaning.

Risk rating

How 6835 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

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 707 are predicted to be safer.
