795 Geary St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The Stanford Apartments at 795 Geary Street is a 48-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by Stanford Apartments Holding. The building has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements, particularly between 2018-2023, including multiple unit remodels (most recently in Unit 408 in 2023, Unit 405 in 2022, and Unit 106 in 2021), fire safety upgrades (including a 2022 fire alarm system improvement and 2023 alarm system maintenance violation), and major infrastructure updates such as a new domestic hot water boiler installation in 2017. However, the building is currently facing several pressing maintenance issues as of late 2024, including active complaints about heating problems, radiator issues, and mold concerns in multiple units.

Recent complaints have also highlighted construction activities without proper permits, noise disturbances from an electric bike repair shop, and problems with building water pressure. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing individual unit needs while occasionally encountering systemic infrastructure challenges. Between 2017 and 2022, there were numerous successful renovations to individual apartments, including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical system improvements, and plumbing upgrades. The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire alarm system, having required multiple upgrades and maintenance work to meet safety codes.

Recent building complaints suggest emerging problems with building systems and maintenance coordination, particularly regarding heating and water infrastructure, though many historical maintenance issues have been promptly addressed when reported. Recent 311 calls from October 2024 through January 2025 primarily concern external conditions around the property, including reports of debris, public health concerns, and vandalism. The property has a documented history of addressing violations when cited, though some recent complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's documentation shows proper attention to fire safety requirements, with regular inspections and corrections noted in fire complaints, though a violation was issued in October 2023 regarding the alarm system maintenance.
