Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1700 Geneva Avenue, located in the Croker Amazon neighborhood, was constructed in 1987 and contains two units. The property, currently owned by Wu Tsai Fu and Yang Su Mei, has experienced several significant events in recent years, particularly throughout 2024-2025. The building has generated multiple maintenance-related complaints, with the most pressing issues being an open excessive noise complaint (January 2025) and an open structural maintenance issue involving graffiti (December 2024). The property has also had several graffiti incidents in December 2024, though these were resolved by street maintenance crews. Infrastructure issues near the building have been documented, including a resolved pavement defect (December 2024) and two instances of sidewalk parking violations (December 2024), one of which resulted in a citation.

The building's emergency response history shows minimal incidents, with only two recorded fire-related responses: one for a structure fire (not in the building itself) and another for assisting an invalid, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries. A notable event in the building's financial history occurred in 2017 when tenant buyouts were executed at a nearby address (1662 Geneva Avenue), affecting three tenants and totaling $28,239.41. The property's permit history shows only one record from 1986, when a building permit was created, though it's noted as complete.

Risk rating

How 1700 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
22th percentile

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 93 are predicted to be safer.
