Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 4621-4625 Geary Blvd in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Wong Wing Soo & Kam Wal 199, was constructed in 1923 and includes a commercial space. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably a recent entry regrading project approved in April 2023 to meet compliance requirements at a cost of $3,000, and the installation of a fire suppression system for the commercial kitchen in 2013. A plumbing issue was addressed in February 2013 when a leaking gas pipe was replaced, though this permit has since expired.

The building's recent maintenance history shows an active response to infrastructure and safety requirements, though some unrelated external issues have been reported in the vicinity. The surrounding area has experienced various urban maintenance challenges, including multiple reports of pavement defects (with one remaining open as of May 2023), general cleaning needs, and instances of graffiti on nearby structures and objects in 2022. The most recent environmental concerns are primarily related to street cleaning and maintenance, with reports of garbage, debris, and waste requiring attention in 2023 and 2024, though these occurred on public property rather than directly on or within the building itself. A notable encampment situation was reported in July 2023, but per federal court ruling, no displacement occurred as the sidewalk remained ADA compliant.

Risk rating

How 4621-4625 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 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 999 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

No violation 77.5%
Moderate concern 18.0%
Severe concern 4.5%
