Initial analysis

The property at 1184-1186 Geneva Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building dating back to 1925, situated in the Croker Amazon neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most pressing current concerns emerging in late 2024, when two active complaints were filed regarding fire safety/fire escape issues, insects/rodents, dilapidated structure, and structural problems in the rear building, which contains both commercial and residential spaces. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly during the mid-2000s, including multiple building code violations in 2005 related to heating system deficiencies, electrical problems, and plumbing issues, though these were all officially abated by October 2005.

Recent building maintenance record shows various repairs were made over the years, including a 2014 roof repair and sheetrock work costing $7,000, and earlier repairs to water-damaged sidings in 2012. There were also multiple electrical wiring improvements made in 2005, addressing safety concerns. Historical complaints indicate past problems with unauthorized modifications, including the illegal installation of a kitchen in 2005 that required removal, and issues with sewer systems, heating systems, and bathroom facilities. The property has undergone various permit activity, including several permit renewals and modifications, particularly in 2005 when multiple issues were being addressed. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to external matters such as garbage removal, parking issues, and sidewalk concerns, rather than internal building problems. The property has a mix of commercial and residential spaces, with ongoing concerns about various maintenance and safety issues that have persisted into 2024-2025.

Risk rating

How 1184-1186 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
73th percentile

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 32 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

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 75.1%
Moderate concern 12.1%
Severe concern 12.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
