Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located at 1078-1082 Geneva Avenue in the Croker Amazon neighborhood was built in 1923 and is currently owned by the Wong/Jew Family Trust. The building underwent significant improvements in 2005 with a major horizontal and vertical extension project valued at $360,000, followed by extensive electrical rewiring work in 2007 that included upgrading two residential units and the commercial space with new lighting, switches, receptacles, and a 200-amp main service. Plumbing amendments were also made in December 2007.

Of particular concern is a recent complaint filed in February 2024 regarding termite infestation in the commercial space (Braided Studio) and the use of potentially hazardous treatment methods involving Cypher TC, which the complainant alleges contains carcinogens and is not proper termite remediation. The building has also experienced ongoing issues with garbage and debris accumulation in the vicinity, with multiple reports between September 2024 and January 2025, though these were primarily related to street and sidewalk cleaning rather than the building itself. Several parking violations were reported and resolved between September 2024 and January 2025, indicating some parking enforcement activity in the area. Historical records show the property underwent significant electrical and structural improvements in the mid-2000s, but there have been no recorded tenant buyouts at this specific address, despite previous buyouts occurring at nearby addresses on Rolph Street and Geneva Avenue.

Risk rating

How 1078-1082 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.
