Initial analysis

880 Geneva Avenue is a two-story, multi-family residential building with a commercial ground floor, located in the Outer Mission neighborhood. The property, built in 1925 and owned by Lou Hawk L & Ketty F Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant transformations, most notably the conversion from a meat market to a fast food restaurant offering Chinese and Mexican cuisine in 2003 (currently operating as Teazzert Pho You). The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly with water systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2018-2019 regarding insufficient hot water and water pressure in the shower facilities, with the most recent complaint still being active as of September 2019.

The property has experienced two notable security and safety incidents in recent years, including a 2022 violation regarding damaged roll-up doors that created a public hazard, resulting in two repair permits in December 2022 and June 2023 to address the issues. The building's electrical infrastructure received updates in 2003 during the restaurant remodeling, including the installation of new lighting, switches, receptacles, circuits, exhaust fans, and dishwasher. Recent maintenance activities include the installation of new sliding gates in 2023 to replace problematic roll-up doors. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding graffiti and debris on the property, though many of these cases remain open or were resolved without direct findings. A fire safety inspection in December 2016 noted refused hood and duct service, though this complaint was ultimately deemed to have no merit.

Risk rating

How 880 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 112 buildings in this neighborhood, 59 are predicted to be safer.
