925 Geary St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 48-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building at 925 Geary Street, constructed in 1913, has experienced several significant and recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2024. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about hot water and heating system failures throughout the building, with reports of no hot water and heating for several weeks in early 2024 affecting multiple floors. The building's elevator service has also been problematic, with one of the most concerning incidents occurring in August 2024 when disabled tenants on the top floor were without elevator service for over a month.

Additionally, maintenance of the fire safety systems has been a recurring concern, with violations noted in March 2024 for alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and a subsequent violation in December 2024 regarding the highrise sprinkler system compliance schedule. The property has undergone various unit renovations over the years, with the most recent being a $65,000 kitchen renovation in unit 402 filed in June 2024. Previous improvements include bathroom and kitchen remodels, washer/dryer replacements, and various electrical upgrades across multiple units between 2019 and 2021.

The building has experienced several infrastructure issues, including a problematic basement area reported in August 2023 described as dangerous and dilapidated, and multiple fire safety violations in 2023 and 2024. Additional concerns have emerged about recent complaints regarding hoarding and sanitation issues in October 2024. While there have been multiple fire incidents recorded, including false alarms and sprinkler activations, none involved civilian injuries. The property has shown regular efforts at maintenance and improvements, though many of these are reactive to persistent issues rather than preventative upgrades.
