Initial analysis

The three-unit apartment building at 1590 Geneva Avenue in the Croker Amazon neighborhood, owned by the Yan Family Trust, was constructed in 1970 and consists of two stories. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over its lifetime, with the most notable recent work occurring in 2016 when balcony-related issues were addressed. In July 2016, a study was conducted to investigate potential dry rot in a section of the third-floor cantilevered balcony, followed by a $7,500 repair project in August to replace damaged components. The building's maintenance history includes earlier work such as reroofing in 2003 ($4,300), demonstrating regular upkeep of major systems.

The property has experienced multiple routine housing inspections over the years (1999-2011), during which several violations were noted and subsequently resolved, primarily between 2000-2006. These included security-related issues (sliding glass door locks, self-closing doors), fire safety concerns (egress obstruction, fire extinguisher maintenance), and plumbing matters (water heater strap requirements). More recent concerns have centered around sewer-related issues, with complaints recorded in March 2022 and September 2024 suggesting potential plumbing system challenges. Other recent incidents include an excessive noise complaint (November 2024), a sewage discharge issue (September 2024), and various maintenance matters in the surrounding area such as graffiti removal and garbage overflow (2023-2024). The building's violation history shows a pattern of addressing safety and maintenance concerns promptly, with all documented violations having been abated.

Risk rating

How 1590 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, 10 are predicted to be safer.
