AI summary

The 12-unit apartment building at 6815 Geary Blvd, managed by Seto Revoc I-v Tr, is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1959 in the Outer Richmond neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements over the past few decades, most notably a seismic soft-story retrofit completed in 2015 (at a cost of $85,000) and a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023 (costing $41,500) which included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current fire codes. The building has experienced recurring fire safety system issues, with multiple complaints and corrections regarding alarm systems between 2010 and 2024, as well as maintenance concerns for exit systems and extinguishers in 2021.

The property has faced some serious habitability issues, most notably in 2016 when multiple violations were documented including mold and mildew problems, the need for smoke detector installation, and various interior and building surface repairs. While most of these violations were marked as "Not Active" by mid-2017, one complaint regarding access to common areas remains active as of 2024. Historical maintenance work includes roof replacement in 1991, vinyl siding installation in 1995, and various electrical system upgrades. The building's location has experienced typical urban environmental issues, with multiple incidents of parking violations, graffiti, and debris issues reported through 311 calls, though these are generally not directly related to building habitability or safety concerns. The building's soft-story retrofit has been completed and certified, placing it in Tier 3 status with all required safety improvements fulfilled.

Risk rating

How 6815 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.
