Initial analysis

The two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 1586 Geneva Avenue in the Crocker Amazon neighborhood, owned by Miguel A Echeverria, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1970. Most recently, in June 2023, the building had windows and patio doors replaced at the front, with a cost of $15,000. The property has seen regular maintenance and upgrades, including deck repairs in 2004 (costing $18,000), electrical improvements in 1996 including service main replacement, and roofing work completed that same year. An EV charging installation project was initiated in 2013 with the installation of two 16A EVSE units, though this permit is listed as expired.

The building has undergone multiple routine housing inspections throughout its history, with several violations documented between 2000-2004 related to gas meter instructions and deck repairs, all of which were subsequently addressed and abated. A significant complaint was filed in 2012 regarding a possible illegal unit in the garage, though this was marked as not active in 2013. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking and public space issues, with multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations and structural maintenance matters in 2024, including reports of bent parking signs and graffiti on street poles. While these external issues don't directly affect the building's condition, they do indicate ongoing neighborhood challenges. The most recent building improvement work, completed in 2023, suggests active maintenance of the property by its owners.

Risk rating

How 1586 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
