Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1530-1532 Geneva Ave in the Croker Amazon neighborhood, owned by Forever Love Lvg Tr, was constructed in 1963 and features two stories. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the years, most notably in 2018 when both bathrooms and the kitchen were remodeled, work which initially proceeded without proper permits and resulted in two building violations. These violations, filed in May and June 2018, were eventually abated in April 2019 following the proper acquisition of permits and completion of the work, which included extensive electrical upgrades and plumbing work valued at approximately $25,000. A similar case of unpermitted modifications was reported in 2013 regarding an allegedly illegally constructed living room in one of the rental units.

The building's maintenance history includes an expired roofing permit from 2001, and a completed permit from 1989 for the construction of a playroom on the ground floor. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris on or near the property, including reports of overflowing city garbage cans and various types of waste. While these external maintenance issues are being addressed through city services, it's worth noting that the building has experienced several smoke and CO detector activations over the years, though none resulted in fires or injuries, and mostly appeared to be due to malfunctions or false alarms.

Risk rating

How 1530-1532 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, 75 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.4%
Moderate concern 17.9%
Severe concern 11.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
