Initial analysis

The six-story multi-family residential building at 4715-4723 Geary Boulevard, built in 1927, contains 60 units and is currently owned by Nancy Mar Tr. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire system upgrade in 2024 costing over $115,000, including a new panel, smoke detectors, and low-frequency horns in all units. Major infrastructure upgrades include a complete reroofing in 2018, a recent domestic hot water boiler replacement in March 2024, and the installation of a new floor drain in the water heater room in May 2024. However, the building has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues, as evidenced by multiple tenant complaints and violations. A notable recent complaint from February 2023 reported inadequate heating control, while a 2022 complaint cited concerns about plumbing leaks, electrical wiring, and elevator problems. The property also has an open fire violation from October 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements that requires permit compliance.

Historical records from 2010-2018 show various building systems improvements, including steam boiler replacements and electrical upgrades. Multiple street space permits have been issued between 2016-2017. The building has experienced recurring issues with building safety and maintenance, including past violations for mold/mildew, water leakage, and heating system problems between 2000-2005. More recent years (2021-2024) have seen complaints about unauthorized construction, electrical issues, and elevator problems, though many of these complaints are now marked as "Not Active." Several planning and permit issues have emerged in recent years, including concerns about unauthorized signage and storefront transparency compliance. The property has maintained basic compliance with building codes, as most violations have been corrected, though multiple fire safety inspections have noted various system requirements that needed attention, particularly in 2017 and 2023. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance issues such as graffiti and garbage, rather than building structural problems.

Risk rating

How 4715-4723 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

1th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1706 are predicted to be safer.
