2230 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 15-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2230 Geary Blvd in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Isac & Eileen C Marchasin R, was constructed in 1926 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Soft Story Retrofit in 2017, which involved seismic strengthening at a cost of $100,000. Other major renovations include the installation of 24 street-visible ultra wood clad windows in 2012, a steam heating boiler replacement in 2011, and multiple roofing projects in 1989 and 2004.

The property has faced several maintenance challenges, particularly regarding its heating system and water infrastructure, with complaints about heating outages in 2011, multiple boiler permit renewal issues between 2016-2020, and significant water leakage and mold problems documented in late 2019-early 2020. The building has experienced periodic fire safety concerns, though most have been promptly addressed. Recent fire safety violations include issues with fire extinguishers (2023), sprinkler systems (2022), and exit maintenance (2022), all of which were corrected.

Historical violations from 2004 related to fire escape maintenance, garage ventilation, and various fire safety requirements were resolved by February 2005. The building has maintained active compliance with seismic safety requirements, completing the Soft Story Retrofit program despite initial violation notices in 2016. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 have primarily concerned external issues including lighting, sidewalk maintenance, and public health matters, with one garbage-related complaint being resolved. The property's historical record shows regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, though with some recurring issues particularly related to water systems and heating equipment.
