Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 3727-3729 Geary Blvd, owned by Ks Lee Trust and built in 1923, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various regulatory challenges over its history. Most recently, in April 2024, the property completed the legalization of unauthorized awning and sign installations for Toyama Japanese Restaurant, following a complaint filed in 2022 regarding unpermitted modifications that occurred between 2017-2019. The building has undergone important infrastructure work, including a $27,000 reroofing project completed in 2020, and previously addressed several building violations from 2000 related to hot water systems, gas utility requirements, and fire safety concerns, all of which were abated by April 2000. A routine inspection in 2003 revealed multiple safety issues including fire extinguisher requirements and lighting deficiencies, while a 2002 complaint about an illegal landing at the entry door prompted accessibility modifications.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to both structural and safety concerns, with permits for electrical upgrades including emergency lighting installation in 2003, and improvements to comply with various housing codes. Historical records indicate the property has maintained its commercial characteristics, with the Toyama Japanese Restaurant operating under proper permits including ABC Type 41 licenses for alcohol sales in conjunction with restaurant use. Recent years have seen various neighborhood-related service calls including environmental health complaints and street cleaning issues, though these appear to be routine urban maintenance matters rather than building-specific problems. The property's planning records show consistent efforts to comply with city regulations, including the successful legalization of previously unauthorized modifications and adherence to health and safety requirements for its mixed-use configuration.

Risk rating

How 3727-3729 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, 1068 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.5%
Moderate concern 19.9%
Severe concern 8.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
