Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 5947-5949 Geary Blvd, owned by Baylocq Realty Llc, was built in 1954 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing mandatory seismic retrofits for wood framing in 2016 at a cost of $160,000. Recent maintenance includes a $23,000 siding replacement in 2018 and various unit improvements in 2017 such as a kitchen remodel in Unit #1, handicapped bathroom renovation, and corresponding electrical work. The building has a history of window-related issues, with complaints filed in 2000, 2004, and 2011 regarding malfunctioning sash windows, though these problems appear to have been addressed through subsequent repairs and replacement projects, including 6 window replacements completed in 2006.

The property has experienced multiple maintenance and habitability challenges over its history, including security violations, interior surface issues, and heating system problems documented in 2000, which were all abated by March 2001. More recent concerns include a vacant commercial storefront in 2022 and several 311 calls between 2020-2024 regarding street-level issues such as graffiti, garbage overflow, and sewer vent cover problems. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues over the years, many of these have been systematically addressed through permits and repairs, with the most recent building improvements focusing on modernization and compliance with current safety standards. The property holds a Tier 4 soft-story status with work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued.

Risk rating

How 5947-5949 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.
