Initial analysis

The 6037-6041 Geary Blvd property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building with street-level retail space, constructed in 1917 and currently owned by the Rosenberg Family Fund. The building's maintenance history shows several significant updates, including an electrical service upgrade in 2005, a panel fire investigation in 2005, and reroofing work attempted in 2003 (though this permit expired). In recent years, there has been one notable building complaint from March 2022 regarding an unpermitted sign installation by sfrealestate.com above the residential window sill, which was referred to SF Planning enforcement.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and debris, particularly in the latter half of 2024, with multiple reports (at least eight) of overflowing garbage and debris between August 2024 and January 2025, most of which were resolved by city services. There have been two fire-related complaints on record - one in 2015 that was found to have no merit, and an operating without a permit issue in 2009 that was promptly corrected. Historical permits indicate various attempted improvements to the property, including a cancelled permit for a 6-foot high fence in 1984, though more recent major systems upgrades appear to have been addressed through proper permitting channels.

Risk rating

How 6037-6041 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

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

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

Building age

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