2824-2826 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 2824-2826 Geary Blvd is a two-story, mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing 6 residential units plus commercial space, currently owned by 2824-2828 Geary LLC. The building has undergone significant recent modifications, including the addition of an accessory dwelling unit in 2016, commercial space changes in 2022, and various unit rehabilitations between 2017-2023. Notable improvements include multiple unit renovations in 2017 (Units 2, 3, and 4) involving kitchen and bathroom upgrades, washer/dryer installations, and electrical rewiring, along with a 2023 compliance upgrade to the commercial entry.

The building experienced several concerning issues in 2020-2024, particularly in late 2020 when serious complaints were filed regarding potentially hazardous conditions in multiple units, including exposed wiring, heating system problems, and safety concerns about a balcony guardrail. Historical building violation records from 2014 indicate multiple safety and maintenance issues, including inadequate lighting, damaged ceilings, electrical problems, and plumbing concerns, though these were all abated by May 2014. The building has had three fire-related incidents recorded, including a gas leak and a carbon monoxide detector activation, though no civilian injuries were reported in any incidents.

Recent activity (2024-2025) has primarily involved routine maintenance and external issues, such as garbage collection and parking enforcement, with no significant internal complaints noted. The property has demonstrated ongoing investment in improvements, with multiple permits for various upgrades and modifications over the past several years, though some permits, including certain electrical and plumbing work in 2020, were ultimately canceled. The building's management has generally addressed most code violations and safety concerns, as evidenced by the abatement of 2014 violations and the completion of numerous improvement projects.
