758-768 Geary St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 68-unit, 6-story building at 760-766 Geary Street, owned by Geary Manor Holdings LLC, is a multi-family residential complex constructed in 1923. The property has undergone significant renovations over the past decade, with many units receiving modern upgrades including Unit 205 (2019), Unit 508 (2019), and several others between 2014-2019, involving kitchen relocations, bathroom remodels, and electrical improvements. However, the building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly with its boiler system, which generated multiple violation notices between 2011-2022 for operating without proper permits, though these were eventually abated in July 2022.

Recent concerns include a 2023 complaint about bathroom ceiling damage and appliance issues in Unit 301, and various fire safety violations in 2023-2024 regarding standpipes, sleeping area requirements, and sprinkler services. The building has a documented history of elevator issues, with complaints in 2020 regarding extended outages and related service calls. Fire safety systems have also been a persistent concern, with multiple violations and complaints about alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and standpipe maintenance dating back to 2008.

Recent inspections in early 2023 and 2024 resulted in violation notices for sprinkler service requirements and missing standpipe caps, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges with critical life safety systems. The building's common areas, particularly the rear staircase, have presented safety concerns, as noted in a 2022 complaint about inadequate lighting in this fire exit. While many individual units have received substantial improvements, including plumbing and electrical upgrades, the building's infrastructure systems, particularly regarding fire safety and elevator functionality, continue to require attention.
