Croker Amazon, SF 94112 6413029 2 units · 2 fl · 1925

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1150-1152 Geneva Ave rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1925
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1925
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1150-1152 Geneva Ave, located in the Crocker Amazon neighborhood, has undergone several significant renovations and faced some compliance issues since its construction in 1925. The property, currently owned by Chen Mei Juan, features two stories with a mixed-use classification including a residential flat and retail space. In recent years, the building has seen regular maintenance and improvements, including a $15,000 re-roofing project in 2019, the installation of a second-floor half-bathroom in 2014 ($8,000), and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Notable among these was a 2012 conversion of retail space into a state-licensed foot massage establishment, which included ADA bathroom modifications.

The building has experienced some compliance challenges, most prominently a roof height dispute in 2014 that resulted in a citation, though this was eventually abated in 2017. Recent months (August-December 2024) have seen multiple parking-related issues in the vicinity, with several reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, though these were primarily enforcement matters rather than building-specific concerns. The property's maintenance record shows attention to necessary repairs, including addressing water damage in 2010 and making various bathroom and accessibility improvements. Planning records indicate successful approvals for the massage establishment use, with various permits validating the building's current configuration and commercial activities.

Risk rating

How 1150-1152 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
26thpercentile

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 88 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
