Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1544-1546 Geneva Ave rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built 1975

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1975
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building located at 1544-1546 Geneva Avenue in the Crocker Amazon neighborhood is a single-story flats and duplex structure built in 1975, currently owned by Lin You Fu Lee Sabrina Q. The building's maintenance history shows attention to roof upkeep, with multiple reroofing projects documented, including a $6,300 project in 2006 and an earlier expired permit from 1993.

Recent activity around the property between 2023 and October 2024 reveals several environmental maintenance issues, including three reports of garbage and debris (two in October 2024), with one case involving a shopping cart, and an open case regarding excessive noise from October 2024. The property area has experienced various street and park-related incidents, such as graffiti removal from a street light pole in July 2024, and multiple park patrol interventions between 2019-2020 related to park rules violations. Other notable events include the removal of an uncollected Christmas tree in January 2023 (where waste was not found upon inspection), and the resolution of both a defaced street cleaning sign in October 2020 and pavement maintenance work in a nearby park completed in June 2021.

Risk rating

How 1544-1546 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
34thpercentile

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 79 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
