Initial analysis

The property at 1151-1153 Geneva Avenue is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in the Excelsior neighborhood, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Victoria N Shamieh Exemptio. The building underwent significant modernization work in 2006, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system ($23,000), complete electrical upgrades (including 400-amp service), and various plumbing improvements, demonstrating substantial investment in building safety and infrastructure. In 2018, the building received a house trap replacement, representing the most recent major plumbing work.

The building has a documented history of violations and maintenance issues, with a cluster of problems identified in January 2004 including lack of heat, mold in bathrooms and kitchens, rotting balcony wood, and electrical concerns, though these were all abated by March 2004. More recent inspection history includes routine fire safety checks in 2008 and building address verifications in 2007. The property has undergone several permit processes to address its mixed-use nature, including attempts to add a one-story vertical addition and a third dwelling unit, though these permits show "Closed" status without clear indication of completion.

Risk rating

How 1151-1153 Geneva Ave'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
74th percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 88 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.3%
Moderate concern 12.1%
Severe concern 18.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
