Initial analysis

The Wong Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with retail space, located at 1190-1192 Geneva Avenue in the Croker Amazon neighborhood. Built in 1922, this property has undergone significant recent activity due to addressing fire damage that occurred in late 2022, as documented in violation complaint #202200668 filed on December 27, 2022. The fire resulted in damage to wall and ceiling finishes, exterior stairs, and siding, prompting extensive repairs throughout 2023. This work included substantial renovations completed in 2023 such as fire damage repairs ($300,000), foundation upgrades, ADA compliance improvements, new roofing ($10,500), and comprehensive electrical and plumbing updates. The building's rehabilitation has included modernizing both units with new kitchens and bathrooms, upgrading commercial space, and addressing various code compliance issues, with all major repairs officially marked as complete by early 2024.

Historically, the building's maintenance records show regular upkeep including roofing work in 1992 and restaurant renovations in 1996-1997, including a pizza restaurant remodel and the addition of ADA-compliant facilities. The property has experienced some ongoing neighborhood maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to street cleaning and garbage concerns between 2021 and 2024, though these are typical urban maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems. A 2000 permit showing a fire suppression system upgrade and a 2011 sewer line repair indicate previous infrastructure improvements. All recent work has been conducted under proper permits and has received appropriate inspections and approvals from city authorities, demonstrating the owner's commitment to bringing the building up to current safety standards.

Risk rating

How 1190-1192 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.
