Initial analysis

The 3-unit apartment building at 1594 Geneva Avenue in the Crocker Amazon neighborhood, owned by Machulechen Trust, has been through several notable events since its construction in 1970. Most recently, in 2019, significant maintenance was performed on the property, including deck repairs costing $28,000. The building has undergone routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1999, 2000, 2004, 2006, and 2011, during which multiple violations were documented and subsequently resolved. These violations commonly related to fire safety and security systems, including combustible storage issues, self-closing door requirements, smoke detector concerns, and egress obstructions, all of which were abated by December 2000.

More recent concerns include two fire violations from May 2021 related to combustible materials and an open vacant building situation, both of which have since been abated. The building's maintenance history shows attention to major infrastructural elements, such as reroofing work completed in 2011. While there have been several recent 311 calls regarding the vicinity of the building (from September 2024 to January 2025), these primarily concerned park services, irrigation, and graffiti issues in the surrounding area, rather than problems with the building itself. The property appears to have addressed past regulatory concerns, as there are no currently active violations on record, and recent maintenance activities suggest ongoing upkeep of the building.

Risk rating

How 1594 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
