Initial analysis

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 2 Geneva Avenue in Ingleside, owned by Joseph & Mary Uniacke Revocable Trust, has undergone significant modifications since 2018, including several successful permits to add new dwelling units. The most substantial changes occurred between 2018-2019, when three additional units were added, increasing the total from 12 to 15, with attempts to further expand to 16 units. The building features a wireless telecommunications facility, with recent upgrades in 2021 and 2023 for both T-Mobile and AT&T installations, including new antennas and equipment. Safety improvements have been a priority, with a substantial fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2019 to comply with SFFC Section 1103.7.6, including new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and emergency panel replacement. The building's infrastructure has been maintained and upgraded regularly, with recent electrical work in 2023 involving new meter installations and temporary power setups, as well as plumbing improvements including new water heaters and backflow preventer replacement in 2019.

The property has a history of fire alarm system complaints, with five reported issues between 2012 and 2021, though all were either corrected or found to have no merit. A single building complaint was filed in 2020 regarding non-essential construction during what appears to be pandemic-related concerns, but this case is no longer active. The building's common areas have undergone routine inspections, demonstrating regular oversight by housing authorities. Recent activity in 2025 shows ongoing community engagement with several street-related service requests, though these primarily relate to external infrastructure rather than the building itself. The property's records indicate proper compliance with building codes and regulations, with all significant permits marked as complete or properly processed, including comprehensive documentation for both residential unit additions and telecommunications infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 2 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
4th percentile

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 150 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 9.3%
Moderate concern 40.5%
Severe concern 50.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
