721 Geary St, San Francisco, CA 94109

721 Geary Street is a 28-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922 and currently owned by 721 Geary I5 LLC. The building has undergone significant maintenance and modernization over the past several years, with the most recent major project being facade repairs initiated in October 2024, including concrete repairs, coating maintenance, and securing of exterior elements.

The building has maintained an active program of unit improvements, with multiple recent renovations completed between 2017-2022 in various units (10, 11, 12, 16, and 25) including kitchen and bathroom rehabilitations, washer/dryer installations, and general modernizations. The property has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, as evidenced by multiple fire violations and complaints between 2023-2024 regarding sprinkler systems, standpipes, and alarm systems, though many of these have been marked as abated. There have been periodic elevator malfunction incidents requiring assistance (most recently in 2025), and some historical boiler permit renewal issues that were resolved in 2017.

A recent tenant complaint from May 2024 regarding inconsistent heating control was recorded, suggesting potential ongoing challenges with building systems. The building's exterior area has been the subject of multiple 311 calls throughout 2023-2024, mainly related to street cleaning and maintenance issues, which while not directly affecting residents, indicate ongoing challenges with the building's immediate surroundings. The most recent building permits and violations suggest active management of the property, though the frequency of fire safety issues and recent heating complaints may raise concerns about system reliability and maintenance.
