Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1045 Geneva Avenue, located in the Excelsior neighborhood and owned by Xury George S & Ann S, has experienced significant infrastructure challenges in recent years. Built in 1924 as a single-story flats and duplex structure, the property has faced persistent sewer-related issues, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2021 and 2023 regarding a defective upper lateral causing health hazards and nuisance conditions. This plumbing problem was formally addressed through multiple permits in late 2022, involving repairs to leaking pipes and associated infrastructure including concrete, drywall, and electrical systems, with the work costing approximately $2,000. The building has also experienced some maintenance concerns, including a complaint filed in 2022 regarding unauthorized construction work on weekends involving window replacements and exterior wall patching.

The property's history includes a range of issues that have been documented over time, including reports of illegal unit conversions (kitchen turned into a room) in 2019, parking violations, and multiple reports of garbage and debris accumulation in recent months (January 2025). While several of these issues have been resolved or marked as "not active," the building's recent history shows recurring maintenance challenges, particularly related to the plumbing system. In terms of structural maintenance, an expired reroofing permit from 1997 indicates this work may not have been completed under proper authorization, though no recent roofing issues have been documented. The most recent activity at the property has involved multiple resolved cases of sidewalk parking violations and garbage issues in early 2025, though these are primarily related to street management rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 1045 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.
