Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1576 Geneva Ave in the Croker Amazon neighborhood was built in 1970 and is owned by Jimmy and Catherine Woo. The property has undergone several important maintenance and safety upgrades over the years, with the most recent being a $13,800 reroofing project permitted in May 2023. The building has a documented history of safety inspections and compliance issues, particularly during the early 2000s. Multiple violations were recorded in 2004, including the need for fire extinguishers in public areas, self-closing devices on exterior doors, and smoke detectors at stairs, all of which were resolved by August 2004. A structural maintenance affidavit was also completed following a 2011 routine inspection. A 2009 complaint regarding cracked front porch and garage flooring was addressed within a week.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of municipal service calls, with multiple reports of abandoned furniture and electronics in late 2024, and an open noise complaint from October 2024. The building's history shows regular housing inspections were conducted throughout the late 1990s and 2000s, with all identified issues being resolved in a timely manner. While there was one fire incident related to a motor vehicle accident reported at the address, no civilian injuries were recorded. The property appears to have maintained compliance with housing codes since the resolution of the 2004 violations, with no active building violations on record as of the most recent data.

Risk rating

How 1576 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

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 12 are predicted to be safer.
